On today's Ecoskoops, we explore building a greener, more inclusive economy amid environmental challenges. Host Isabel Potgieter kicks off with key news: a South African group appeals a Northern Cape nickel prospecting licence over risks to fragile ecosystems and incomplete bird-life studies, while International Mother Earth Day on April 22 called for urgent climate action to protect biodiversity and vulnerable communities. She chats with Dr Sibongile Mazibuko from the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition's Green Economy sector about their mandate to foster a globally competitive, inclusive economy.
