SPECIAL: "Our Lives are on the Line" - a BONUS Interview with Norwu Harris, Liberian climate activist

Liberia: Democracy in Focus

Hello listeners and welcome. This is Evelyn Kpadeh Seagbeh with an extended interview with Norwu Harris. Norwu is a climate justice activist with the civil society organization the Liberia Feminist Forum. We will explore a wide range of issues to do with the climate crisis and the devastation it is causing farmers across our 15 counties.
Our interview follows from a New Narratives survey conducted across five counties which found that 100 per cent of farmers we interviewed were struggling to make farming sustainable because of the changing climate. And nine in every ten farmers wanted to migrate. Experts say this makes them highly vulnerable to traffickers and other scammers.
Funding for this podcast comes from the Swedish and US embassies in Liberia and the American Jewish World Service. See more of our collaborations with media in West Africa at www.newnarratives.org
