How do I understand the Climate Crisis - Part 1 | E 06 | Siddhant Samvidhan Ke

Dialogues on Democracy and Development presents Episode 6 in the series titled “Siddhant Samvidhan Ke” ________________________________________________________ Climate change is everywhere in the news, but do we really understand its history and its deep links with democracy? 🌍 On World Environmental Health Day, we explore climate change like never before—its history, its links with democracy, and the hidden forces that shaped today’s crisis. In this episode, we uncover how a small, mysterious island played a surprising role in shaping the climate crisis. From slavery to capitalism and colonialism, we trace how human exploitation of nature and people for profit set the stage for today’s global warming. The climate crisis isn’t just about fossil fuels—it’s about systems of power and inequality that have operated for over 600 years. Strong constitutional values and democracy are key to challenging these systems and protecting both people and the planet. ⚡ Actions that individuals can take to address the climate crisis will be covered in Part 2 of this series. Small but consistent steps when multiplied across millions can shift culture and power. Use this video as a resource in schools, colleges, civil society spaces, or community discussions to connect the dots between sustainability, justice, and democracy. And stay tuned for the next episode, where we explore collective actions for building a more just and sustainable future. ________________________________________________________ Video Credits Directed By: Mansi Patel Written By: Kaustubh, Anjor Editor: Aiza Khan, Gayatri Deshmukh, Mansi Patel Voiceover: Kaustubh Rao, Sonali Sathaye Subtitles: Ankita Rawal, Aiza Khan This video is for educational purposes only.
