S1E9: The Greta effect in Singapore: Green Pulse Ep 9

Green Pulse Ep 9: The Greta effect in Singapore


13 mins


Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2019, The Straits Times
dives into all things green, blue and brown. Green Pulse analyses
the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity
conservation to climate change. 


This month, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan and
assistant foreign editor David Fogarty chat with Ms Annika Mock,
20, and Mr Kristian-Marc Paul, 25, two of the young organisers of
the upcoming Singapore Climate Rally. 


Ms Mock and Mr Paul are among the 15 young activists in Singapore
who are organising the climate action rally on Sept 21, in line
with the global youth movement inspired by Swedish teen climate
champion Greta Thunberg.


The event will be the first of its type in the Republic since the
international movement began in August last year, although there
have been other social media climate campaigns here. 


Tune in to this episode to find out what the organisers have
lined up for the climate rally on Sept 21, the backlash they have
received since the  ST story was published, and their
thoughts on the importance of the youth climate movement.


Produced by: Audrey Tan (audreyt@sph.com.sg), David
