EcoRadio KC
EcoRadio KC is a magazine show, including live segments, prerecorded stories, and interviews. The weekly explores our interdependence with the rest of the world, showing the connections between the ways we choose to live and the health of the whole community of life.
For this program, Eco Radio KC airs an interview with Pamela McElwee. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Ecology, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, at Rutgers – the State University of New Jersey. Pam is an interdisciplinary environmental scientist, with a joint Ph.D. in anthropology and forestry and with additional training in geography & ecology. She is currently serving as a lead author for chapter 6 on governance of biodiversity for the Global Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).
She has recently joined as a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on Climate Change and Land: an IPCC Special Report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. She is also the Thematic Group Lead for the Cultural Practices and Ecosystem Management Thematic Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s Commission on Ecosystem Management. ICUN is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. In late June 2019, Eco Radio KC’s programmer, Teresa Wilke, was able to record this interview with Pam McElwee. Please listen as Pam shares her knowledge and experience in international global climate negotiations.
