Thank you for listening to the first episode of Rentaikan, the official podcast of Amnesty International Nagoya Multicultural Group (Provisional). This episode is the first in a three part series on how climate change affects human rights, and will focus on how climate change and human rights have become linked over the last 30 years. To do this, we spoke to Dr. Evan Gach, an environmental activist and academic from Nagoya University.
This podcast is also a supplementary resource for an online discussion panel we will be holding on May 17th from 18:00 Japanese time entitled ‘Freedom Toast Café: How Does Climate Change Impact Human Rights?’. Joining us for this event will be global human rights and climate change campaigner Marinel Sumook Ubaldo, as well as Professor Masao Takano from the Department of Earth and Climate Sciences at Nagoya University.
