Über diesen Podcast
On the Green Fence lives up to its name in looking at complex,
often divisive environmental issues from multiple angles. It’s not
about greenism, but about delving into the major concerns of our
time in an engaging and human way. DW reporter Neil King sits on
the fence and explores the role business, society and science play
in our transition to a more environmentally friendly world. In so
doing, he aims to make sense of issues that affect us all, but
which are often over-simplified or convoluted by ideology and
lobbyism. On the Green Fence stands for an open-minded, relevant
and entertaining approach to the environment.
