Sojourner Truth Radio

Today on Sojourner Truth we continue our coverage of the Cop 27 conference with our guest Dr. Shannon Gibson, Associate Professor at USC, whose research and courses cover global environmental politics, global public health, social movements, social justice and community-based research. Her students are accessing Cop 27 conference workshops and content remotely through the Wrigley Institute. We discuss the sentiment her college age students face by engaging with a conference like Cop 27, where with the exception of activists from around the globe, most international diplomats and participants negotiating do not represent their age range or urgency to take action to mitigate global warming, and what Dr. Gibson is doing to prepare these future leaders facing this climate crisis. We conclude with journalist and The Nation correspondent Tina Gerhardt who is covering Cop 27 and her take on what to expect in the last leg of Cop 27.
