About
Sometimes mothers are biological; other times, they’re chosen. But often, they're the fiercest people you can have on your side.
In this special Mother’s Day episode, we’ll hear stories about the vital role mothers and caregivers play in confronting the climate crisis. From a midwife providing essential healthcare in one of the most climate-stressed regions on the planet to an organizer who leads a network of over a million caregivers demanding cleaner air and a healthier future — these women show what it means to protect people in a changing world.

Dominique Browning, Co-Founder and Director, Moms Clean Air Force
Neha Mankani, Founder, Mama Baby Fund; Climate Advisor, International Confederation of Midwives
