DW.com: KLAUS ESTERLUSS | IDEAS Climate change ist the greatest issue of all time

You can watch my interview here on Deutsche Welle: http://blogs.dw.com/globalideas/tag/sushma-joshi/ There is a video on  Youtube. GLOBAL IDEAS talked to Sushma Joshi, a Nepali writer and filmmaker based in Kathmandu. In our interview, she says that the developing world suffers from the consequences of climate change – while industrialized countries are largely responsible.

Joshi's book  End of the World  was long-listed for the Frank O' Connor International Short Story Award in 2009.

Her 2006 short-film  "The Escape"  about a teacher targeted by rebels was accepted to the Berlinale Talent Campus. For more on Sushma Joshi have a look at her blog:  The Global And The Local
