Anya Bansal, the host, speaks about the goals of this podcast and sets the stage for what this podcast and future episodes may look like. Created specifically to combat inaction and to encourage better awareness and learning, this podcast can be used as a tool to remind us about the dangerous effects of climate change. The goal: to help others keep in mind the realistic effects and ways it indirectly affects many parts of our society, to further explain every angle of this issue, bringing forth light to topics shrouded in the darkness of inaction and lack of widespread communication. Featuring interviews from other sources and knowledgeable people, as well as case studies and research, I promise to provide dependable and trustworthy information to try to explain and address concerns as the best of my ability. We need to move the global conversation forward, so that instead of focusing solely on the problems, we can also learn about the implementation of possible solutions and what these solutions will mean for our future in a broader perspective.
