    CT0043: Understanding the intersections of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and climate change, with Yazid Mikail

    Yazid Mikail, a climate policy expert and Founder, Nest Africa AI Innovation Lab, sits with Seyifunmi Adebote, Host, Climate Talk Podcast, to unpack the fascinating intersection between Artificial Intelligence and climate change. Together, they explore how AI tools can help predict weather patterns, empower farmers, and track environmental changes — all while discussing the ethical concerns, data accuracy issues, and misconceptions around AI’s role in climate action. From practical examples in Africa to global reflections on AI’s potential and pitfalls, this episode offers both inspiration and clarity on how technology can (and can’t) help us tackle the climate crisis. You will find answers to some tough questions, such as: 1. Can we really trust AI to help us navigate the climate crisis? 2. Is AI making us lazy thinkers and replacing the uniqueness of critical human thinking? 3. How can developing countries ethically and effectively use, build, and transform AI for climate change?

She also states that there is a shortage in the water labour sector, and it's time for young people to be given a seat at the table. On this episode, you will learn about: 1. Why young people are termed ignorant when it comes to water and climate conversations? 2. Some water sustainability initiatives and the need to fund youth groups. 3.

    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. Listen and get the full gist.
