🌍 What does climate justice really look like when we center people, power, and lived experience — not just policy? In this transformative episode of Tangelic Talks, co-hosts Victoria Cornelio and Andres Tamez sit down with Amber Amoo Gottfried — a climate action facilitator, consultant, and leading voice on intersectional, anti-colonial climate work. Amber’s work spans climate action planning, environmental anti-racism, youth learning design, decolonial approaches, and grassroots movement building across the UK and Europe. Together, they unpack the complexities of climate justice, burnout, allyship vs. solidarity, frontline community struggles, and why imagination is as critical as data in the climate movement. This episode goes beyond the buzzwords — diving into how justice, community, and climate action intertwine.
