06: Offbeat - War, Climate, And The Struggle to Tell the Truth

In this episode of Offbeat, hosts Giles Trendle and Sangeeta Waldron unpack Episode 5 of Legacy Makers, which features Palestinian journalist Shrouq Al Aila - a courageous female voice reporting from Gaza.

Giles and Sangeeta discuss the critical role climate journalists play as frontline storytellers, amplifying stories that expose the environmental realities often overshadowed by war. They make the point that media freedom is a climate solution.

This episode poses an urgent question: Can the world reach net zero or build a sustainable future while ‘mankind’ continues to wage war? With global conflict zones now covering an area twice the size of India since 2021, this conversation confronts the dangerous convergence of war, climate, and the freedom to tell the truth.
