CT0041: "Our Poor Wildlife Culture is Ruining the Ecosystem" says Adeola Eniola

Synopsis:

In this episode, a young and passionate wildlife advocate Adeola Eniola from joins Seyifunmi Adebote to discuss the state of the wildlife in Nigeria and the continent, her contributions to conserving wildlife as a Digital Content Manager at Wildlife of Africa Conservation Initiative (WACI) a global organization shaping the area of wildlife and conservation across the African continent.

Eniola addresses the limited education on conserving wildlife, its effect on biodiversity (11:11), and the rather consumerist culture in Nigeria. She highlights how her work at ⁠WACI has focused on developing, curating, and establishing innovative initiatives to bridge the awareness gap over the years in the region. She discusses how the WACI system has prioritized services in (21:04) wildlife species, climate risks, conservation, environment and advocacy.


Eniola walked us through her journey so far in the wildlife space and offered quite forward-thinking solutions to change the wildlife culture in Nigeria and across the continent.

This was such a great conversation. On this episode, you will learn about:

1. Wildlife is suffering because of the degradation caused by climate change.

2. Wildlife is necessary for the ecosystem to continue to run effectively.

CT0040: "Swap Energies is Taking Over EV Technology in Nigeria" says Seyifunmi Oguntade

Synopsis:

Will you be willing to convert to an electric mode of transportation, which costs 25-30% less than fuel and also zero carbon emissions? Better climate action at a cheaper cost.

On this episode, our guest, Seyifunmi Oguntade, the Founder/ CEO of Swap Energies, took us on a thrilling adventure on how he and his team convert already existing internal combustion engines to electric energy, and its climate implications (as approximately 5 million keke [tricycle] operate each day, causing excessive carbon emission per day).

Seyi talked about innovation (8:01) and creativity, and how the main drive should be towards combining profitability and positive impact on the environment.

He further expressed that Nigeria (16:10) can only be built by Nigerians themselves, and the government is a reflection of the people at large. To have a good government, we start by having good people.

As an entrepreneur, our guest suggests (26:35) that you have something to show when applying for grants or financing. This will help to ensure your success because investors want to see evidence that you are not just a business idea but a successful innovation.


On this episode, you will learn about:

1. Fossil fuel usage in Nigeria is gradually phasing out.

2. Electric Vehicle (EV) is the future, and the Nigerian market will slowly transition.

3. The Nigerian transport market is highly gatekept by traditional fossil fuel players, making the barrier to entry even harder for EV technology.

Strengthening Africa's Blue Economy and Maritime Sector

About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. This points to the truth that the maritime sector holds so much value. How do make the best of these rich marine resources without compromising on the health of our planet and make these resources available for the generation yet unborn?


On this episode of the Climate Talk Podcast, my guest, Dr. Dolapo Oluteye introduces us to the concept of ‘Blue economy’. Dr. Dola shares insights about the international frameworks guiding how marine resources are explored, the connection with climate change, and amplifying Africa’s voice in the global maritime sector.


Ahead of the United Nation’s COP29 meeting in Baku, Dr. Dola hints on scaling up innovations like hydrogen-derived fuel already shaping the maritime sector and unblocking financial opportunities to decarbonize the maritime sector.

There is so much to learn on this podcast. Read about IMO's GHG Reduction Strategy and the UNCTAD maritime assessment. Connect with Dr. Dolapo Oluteye via LinkedIn.

Understanding transboundary waters and connections with climate change

Water is practically where the world sits - It is a shared resource and blurs the boundary between Nations and continents. 


Our guest on this episode of the Climate Talk Podcast is Meghna Chakraborty - a global water professional with multiple experiences. Most of her work is currently African-focused. Meghna is originally from India, however, she is currently based in Lagos, Nigeria.

Meghna sheds light on Transboundary waters, their connections with climate change, and the role of young people in climate change.

In addition, you will learn about:

  • The concept of upstream and downstream nations

  • How conflict breaks out when one nation’s relationship with water affects the others.

  • Ways to be more effective and efficient with our water use - especially with the rising populations across the world.

One key takeaway for me is that: Conversations are good but conversations alone won't bring change, rather conversation should guide actions.

So much to learn on this podcast.

What can children do about the climate crisis?

What can children do about the climate crisis?

Zach is my youngest guest on the Climate Talk Podcast and I must admit he is not just smart, he is very optimistic that little actions matter in making the world a better place.

Ever wonder why governments continue to subsidize fossil fuel despite knowing the danger it poses to people and our planet; ignoring cleaner options such as solar panels which have been functional for a long time. This was part of the exciting chat with Zach Fox Devol, we also spoke about how children make up an important stakeholder in the discourse about climate change. He opened me up to new knowledge and historical records of climate action in the United States of America. 

More about my guest:

Zach Fox-DeVol is an extraordinary 11-year-old climate activist and the host of We The Children, a podcast about climate change and global warming solutions.

A Novice Perspective Of Climate Change

Just like we talk about sports, reality shows, and Netflix; we need to raise more conversation about the environment and the impact of climate change. Not only among experts and not restricted to social media, outside the norm, we must also get newer perspectives on climate change so that our government and policymakers see the need to do something about it - quickly at that.

Rafiat Akinwande, popularly known as Queen Raffy, is a podcaster, voice-over artist, and NOT a climate activist. So in this episode, she shares a novice perspective of the much talked about lingo - climate change. You will learn her thoughts on:

-  What is Climate Change?

-  Effect of Climate Change.

- Common Climate Change examples and experiences in Nigeria.

- Organizations working on addressing Climate Change Issues in Nigeria.

- Who should take the lead in addressing Climate Change.
