How did the Modi government gain the Shompen tribe’s consent for the construction of two cities, a port, and a gas refinery on the Great Nicobar Island? What does carbon trading mean for the environment? Do changes to the Forest Conservation Act threaten community forests? What are the expectations from the COP29?

In this episode of What’s Your Ism, Sudipto Mondal speaks to environment journalist Rishika Pardikar about climate crisis, India’s most vulnerable communities, and the global debate on environmental rights.
