In her work as a journalist, Ugochi has met people who are gravely impacted by climate change and other environmental challenges. These most vulnerable ones are mainly not responsible for climate change, and may not even understand the science but know that things are no longer as they used to be. Ugochi will reflect on her encounters with them and share the burning questions in their hearts and lips.
