Focusing on climate activism in South Africa, the final instalment of our "Climate Change in South Africa" mini-series unpacks how a new generation of youth activists follow in their parents’ footsteps in the struggle against what the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights has dubbed “climate apartheid: where the wealthy pay to escape overheating, hunger, and conflict, while the rest of the world is left to suffer.”

This episode features interviews with environmental lawyer, Tatenda Muponde, youth activist, Ayakha Melithafa and Amnesty International Secretary-General, Kumi Naidoo, as well as on the ground reporting from the 2019 global climate strikes in Cape Town, South Africa.
