Welcome to Frontline Speaks, a podcast that brings you closer to the people and stories at the heart of the climate crisis.

Amid devastating floods in Nairobi to energy struggles in South Africa and disappearing coastlines in Senegal, the communities most affected by climate change rarely get to shape the conversation. That changes here.

In this podcast, hosts Jennifer Kwao and Krystel Sil Sikana centre voices sidelined by mainstream climate conversations. With raw firsthand accounts, deep analysis, and bold discussions, Frontline Speaks uncovers how climate disasters, eurocentric policies, and global inaction impact people—while also spotlighting the power of frontline communities to fight back. This first season will spotlight African perspectives on how Africa’s ties with Europe are impacting realities on the frontlines.
