People, Planet, and Rights: Connecting Climate Action and SRHR

In this episode, Laura Ferguson is joined by Angela Baschieri and Martina Yopo Diaz to discuss the critical links between climate change and sexual and reproductive health and rights.

From disrupted reproductive healthcare and climate-related displacement to eco-anxiety and changing fertility decisions, the conversation highlights how the climate crisis is deeply affecting reproductive lives worldwide.

The episode also explores gaps in global policy frameworks, the unfinished agenda of the ICPD Programme of Action, and why equity, human rights, and meaningful participation must remain at the centre of climate action.

A thoughtful discussion on justice, sustainability, and the future of reproductive rights in a changing world.
