Together, they look at women leading climate action and justice around the world, celebrating their amazing achievements.

In their own words, "Climate change is a man-made problem - with a feminist solution!", and this podcast shows us why these are words to live by. If you're looking for inspiration and some badass role models to look up to, then this is the podcast for you.

Whether it be interviewing innovative designers, H&M's head of sustainability or visiting sustainable fashion weeks - Clare is there!

Coming from the popular ABC series of the same name, the War on Waste podcast is packed full of ways you can start your own war on waste. Host Craig Reucassel joins forces with radio host Wendy Harmer to get the story behind our waste problem. They also talk to movers and shakers who are making a difference and share their creative ways of cutting down waste with you.

The Inquiry

Make a beeline for the 'Is Plastic Doomed?'episode and you won't be disappointed. There's a lot of chatter about plastics at the moment and it can be hard to sieve through all the information and get the story straight. The Inquiry is a calm, considered voice amongst all that noise. Produced by the BBC, The Inquiry speaks to experts on the topic of the week who disect an issue from several different perspectives. In the plastic episode (posted on the 29th of March), The Inquiry goes from Europe to Indonesia to get to the bottom of our plastic problem.

If you're looking to become a quick expert on a topic then this is the podcast for you! They also have other great episodes that deal with climate issues. This one for example covers eating our way out of climate change.
