Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson

Today Ilana sits down with Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, a PhD marine biologist, leading climate conservationist and policy expert, and author of WHAT IF WE GET IT RIGHT, which Rolling Stone calls “The most helpful book on the planet right now for… anyone concerned with Earth’s rising temperatures”. Ayana and Ilana discuss the alarming scarcity (but desperate need for) climate crisis messaging in politics and culture. In fact, we already have the renewable energy solutions we need to fight climate change, restore the environment, and create jobs, but if men say they feel emasculated by simply carrying a reusable canvas bag… are we doomed? 🤦 Enjoying It’s Open with Ilana Glazer?
