Episode 3.1 - Uzma Noormohamed

Climate Changemakers is a podcast series highlighting leaders in equity work and climate action. For season three, we’re centering artists and creators producing content about the environment and climate crisis in innovative ways. By passing the mic to them, we can together explore how to expand this important conversation through art and media, bringing in people who might not otherwise have participated.

Uzma has over a decade of experience working on climate and energy issues and is most recently proud of leading E(art)H Chicago, a grant program supporting the use of art and stories to stimulate community engagement on climate change, natural resource use, and environmental justice in Chicago neighborhoods. This episode was recorded in the "Elevate Cafe" at our Green Street headquarters in Chicago.
