Exploring sustainable change and the women inspiring it.
Women make up more than half the world’s population, and although they are often disproportionately impacted by climate change, their voices are not always heard due to lack of inclusion and representation at the decision-making level. Go Simone gives them a voice.
Each episode, we meet with an academic, activist, artist, entrepreneur, politician, researcher or student who shares her story, roots, passions, and hopes for the future. She tells us more about the alternatives and strategies she has developed to tackle climate change.
