reimagining government podcast
A podcast shining a light on government changemakers around the world.
Season four of Reimagining Government asks a bold question
What if tackling climate change starts with rethinking who holds power?
This season explores what happens when those too often excluded from decision-making lead the way, and what their leadership reveals about how governments can work differently.
Across six episodes, we spotlight women and gender-diverse leaders who aren’t just responding to climate change — they’re redesigning cities, challenging climate colonialism, defending the Amazon, mobilising global activism, and bringing youth voices into politics and policy.
From the UN to city governments, grassroots movements to parliamentary chambers, their stories challenge business-as-usual and show what’s possible when justice, care, and resilience guide how we govern.
At its heart, this season is about more than climate. It’s about power: who has it, how it’s shared, and how reimagining leadership from the ground up can reshape the future of government for everyone.
