PODCASTS - Just Us and the Climate
Welcome to Just Us and the Climate – a podcast by South Africa’s Climate Justice Coalition.
Join us as we bring climate change back down to earth and show how it’s not only a crisis, but an opportunity to build a better, more just world.
From Plans to Power: How Communities Can Drive Change Through IDPs.
In this episode of Just Us and the Climate, we unpack a powerful yet often overlooked or misunderstood tool in the fight for social and climate justice: Integrated Development Plans (IDPs). Host Ferron Pedro explores how communities can make use of these strategic local government plans to drive real, equitable change on the ground — whether it’s looking at housing, tackling drought in farming towns, or launching water conservation projects.
Listen to climate activist Motlatsi Makhasane talk about how to use the IDP process to demand sustainable solutions — and win. Plus, we have IDP expert Tsekiso Majake who unpacks how you can get involved, influence municipal plans, and avoid common pitfalls.
Whether you’re a seasoned community activist or just curious, tune in and learn how power really works — at the local level. Website · Facebook · Instagram
