Whose Planet? The Climate Justice podcast

33:58

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

When it comes to tackling the climate crisis, some governments have recognised the scale of the issue. But what happens when you don’t put justice at the centre of green policies? This episode looks at the transition to net zero, and what needs to be done to ensure that everyone benefits from a more sustainable environment. This episode explores these inequalities, hearing from communities who are disproportionately negatively impacted by green solutions. These include the Sámi Reindeer population standing up to governments to protect the land they have used for centuries to herd their reindeer, and disability activists fighting to cooperate internationally against the marginalisation of disabled people in policy spaces. Guests: Beaska Niillas, politician, Sámi Parliament Eva Fjellheim, researcher, journalist, activist Matti Blind Berg, Chairman, Swedish Sámi Association and reindeer herder Anna Landre, disability justice activist and scholar Magda Boulabiza, policy and advocacy adviser at the European Network Against Racism Whose planet? is hosted by Nani Jansen Reventlow, founder of Systemic Justice, and produced by Tortoise Media.…
