Nature Unheard: a new EBRD podcast
What if nature could speak? What would forests, rivers and coral reefs tell us about the state of our planet?
In Nature Unheard, the EBRD’s new podcast, we journey from Jordan to Kazakhstan, Kenya to the United Kingdom, uncovering stories of resilience and curiosity, as well as groundbreaking ideas and insights.
Hosted by Adonai Herrera-Martínez, Rachael Barza and Emma Bentley, each episode dives into the big questions shaping our planet’s future: from the hidden economics of biodiversity and the frontlines of climate change to the new ways artificial intelligence is being used to protect nature.
It’s nature, like you’ve never heard it before.
This podcast was made possible thanks to the support of the EBRD’s donors.

Listen to the last episode:
Are cities doomed to be grey and overheated, or can nature help them thrive? In the final episode of this season of Nature Unheard, Rachael Barza and Emma Bentley explore how nature-based solutions are transforming urban life. From persistent pigeons at London tube stations to flood-prone rivers in Moldova, and from mangrove forests in the Philippines to goose festivals in Hungary, this episode shows how working with nature can cool our streets, protect our homes and reconnect us with the wild, even in the middle of the city. Featuring Ingrid Coetzee of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, and a special soundbite from the EBRD’s work on the River Bîc in Chișinău, supported by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) as part of our Green Cities programme.
