"Men Have Driven Climate Change" - Dia Mirza | Ecofeminism | Arati Kumar Rao @SohaAliKhanP

ALL ABOUT HER with Soha Ali Khan ft. Dia Mirza & Arati Kumar-Rao | Ecofeminism, Climate Change & Women Leading The Future What does feminism have to do with the environment? And why are women often the first to feel the impact of climate change yet also the ones leading the fight for change? In this episode of All About Her, we explore the powerful and deeply relevant idea of ecofeminism the connection between women, nature, and the systems that continue to exploit both. From climate anxiety and sustainable living to gender inequality, development, capitalism, and the emotional burden women carry in protecting homes, communities, and the planet this conversation dives into the realities of living in a rapidly changing world. Joining the conversation is Dia Mirza, actor, producer, UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador, and one of India’s strongest voices for environmental awareness. Dia opens up about her personal journey with sustainability, how motherhood transformed her relationship with the Earth, and why climate action today needs empathy, awareness, and collective responsibility. Alongside her, award-winning environmental journalist and conservation storyteller Arati Kumar Rao brings deep insight into the realities of rural India, where women remain central to environmental survival. From stories of drought, displacement, and resilience to the role of women in conservation and climate leadership, she unpacks the larger systems shaping our future. The episode also explores uncomfortable but necessary questions: Is development costing us our connection with nature? Can capitalism and sustainability coexist? Why are women’s voices still missing from major climate conversations? And what kind of world are we leaving behind for the next generation? At its heart, this conversation is about coexistence, care, and reimagining progress through a more conscious and compassionate lens. #AllAboutHer #SohaAliKhan #DiaMirza #Ecofeminism #ClimateChange #Sustainability #WomenAndNature #AartiKumarRao #Environmentalism #Motherhood #ClimateAction #ConsciousLiving #Feminism #Podcast #AllAboutHerPodcast #HereForHer 📍 Whoppl Studios ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Titles 0:00 – Coming Up 1:38 – Introduction 3:16 – Meet Dia Mirza 3:58 – Meet Arati Kumar Rao 4:54 – Most Influential Women of 2023 7:14 – What is Ecofeminism? 15:46 – When Sustainability Became Personal 32:36 – Dia’s Deep Connection with Nature 39:10 – Stories of Women & Nature from Rural India 48:04 – How Development is Exploiting Nature 57:55 – Do Women Become Like Men When Given Power? 1:01:36 – What Needs to Change? 1:08:38 – Ninna’s Question 1:12:51 – Systemic Changes Urban Cities Need 1:18:40 – Capitalism vs The Environment 1:24:26 – How 1% Controls the World 1:31:15 – How Motherhood Changed Dia’s Relationship with Nature 1:39:48 – Small Changes We Can Make in Daily Life 1:44:53 – The Danger of Excluding Women’s Voices 1:47:36 – Biggest Takeaways from the Conversation 1:49:27 – Closing Thoughts --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produced By: Soha Ali Khan Production House: Any Content Experts Pvt Ltd Creative Producer & Writer: Bhumika Jethwa DOP: Anish Ajmera, Jimit Sondagar Post-Producer & Editor: Yash Patel ✨ Follow Soha Ali Khan ⤵︎ Instagram: @sakpataudi Twitter: @sakpataudi Facebook: Soha Ali Khan
