Temperature Check

De: Grist
  • Resumen

  • Temperature Check is a podcast from Grist at the intersection of climate and justice. It’s about the people leading climate action and climate solutions, and stories that show the pathways to a more sustainable, equitable future.


    Season 3 is all about pivot points: How does a special education teacher nearing retirement become a renowned environmental justice advocate? What leads a climate journalist to become an electrician, or a corporate executive to create a mobility-justice nonprofit? We asked six climate and justice leaders to share their stories of changing course in their lives or careers in order to bring meaningful change to their communities.
