RESILIENCE: The Global Adaptation Podcast

#

Adapting to climate change one conversation at a time…

29th October 2024, Nairobi – The UN Environment Programme’s Global Adaptation Network have published a new podcast series to delve into the best solutions and cutting-edge technologies for adapting to climate change.

In each episode of RESILIENCE, the world’s greatest climate experts talk about the hottest topics – the use of artificial intelligence to help farmers grow food in tough conditions, the role of forests in protecting people against the impacts of extreme weather, and the power of storytelling in driving climate action.

The first episode of the new season explores the topic of Climate-resilient Buildings. Award-winning architect Mariam Issoufou shares her journey of returning to Niger, where she’s using her expertise to tackle extreme heat. Plus, former Climate Change Ambassador Diann Black-Layne from Antigua and Barbuda reveals how a community-based loan scheme is helping locals ‘hurricane-proof’ their homes.

The podcast can be found on Spotify, Apple and Amazon and all other major podcasting platforms.

Over the course of eight weeks, a new episode will come out every Tuesday morning on a different theme, from the power of youth in climate action to the vital question of how to increase adaptation.
