Description
The Africa Climate Conversations podcast channel purpose is to shape climate change and environmental narratives in Africa through in-depth news features from the field, conversations with African experts, and opinions.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Sophie Mbugua, and I am from Kenya. I am an environmental journalist passionate about Africa, my motherland, nature, and travel.
I started this podcast in 2022 after reporting for numerous international, local, and regional media outlets on climate change and the environment. But over the years, I have noted huge gaps in reporting these narratives from an African perspective.
In a world where Africa is heating faster than the rest of the world, its population expected to double, home to critical minerals for a green revolution, Africa cannot afford to leave its media behind. As an African journalist, producing this podcast is my contribution to the Africa we want for us and our future generations.
There, please subscribe, listen, and share. Let's shape the future African climate change and environmental narratives together.
