Description

In 2023 Nova Scotia pledged to investigate how Black and Indigenous people in the province are disproportionately affected by pollution and environmental hazards, including climate change. As part of our "Best of What On Earth" series, we revisit our interview with the chair of the panel tasked with that work. Then we hear an update from one of the people who took part, who says the province is now withholding crucial information.
