In October 2024, ATLANTIC FELLOWS from around the world gathered in Bogotá, COLOMBIA, for a CLIMATE ACTION CONVENING on planetary health and a just transition.  The Convening was co-hosted by Colombian human rights organisation DEJUSTICIA, whose work includes campaigning for environmental justice.  

In this podcast, we hear from Atlantic Fellows DORAH MAREMA from South Africa and PETER GAN from Malaysia as they discuss how to engage communities in their work – Dorah works in local government and Peter in public health.
