Description

 
In this week’s show: a chilling warning that climate change could cause a pandemic-scale economic shock to small businesses once a decade; we follow the fast-growing COVID-19 spike across Africa and hear welcome news about how some countries have included refugees in their pandemic vaccination programmes. We’ll also be learning about why drought “could be the next pandemic” from the UN’s top disaster risk reduction official, in this week’s interview. With your host Daniel Johnson and Solange Behoteguy-Cortes, who explains how the indigenous Aymara people came up with their own solution, to a lack of rainfall.
