# 86 What is climate consciousness?

Rabindranath Tagore, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 was also a leading thinker on education. The central tenets of his thoughts on education were learning among nature, striking a balance of the arts and science in the curriculum and internalising a spirit of internationalism. Tagore was also a practical man and he put his ideas in action by setting up a school for children and an University. His ideas on education are key to creating the consciousness that is needed for to solve the climate crisis and (if we ever get out of this mess) avoid creating a similar crisis again. AI may help in reviving Tagore’s thoughts in the 21st century. Section Section 1: First 20 minutes about Tagore’s thoughts on education. Section 2: Next 20 minutes about how Tagore implemented his ideas on education.

# 85 PAYG is vital for Kenyan farmers

In Kenya there has been droughts for the last four out of 5 seasons. Most farmers depend only rains and are very vulnerable to changing weather. SunCulture provides irrigation solution to small holder farmers. The challenge is to make the product affordable to farmers. This means right sizing the pumps, working with suppliers to reduce costs and providing financing solutions. It also means using subsidies such as results based financing and carbon credits efficiently. Hack Stiernblad is the Chief Growth Officer of SunCulture responsible for market expansion and raising donor funds. SunCulture provides solar irrigation solutions to farmers in Kenya and is now expanding to Uganda and Côte d'Ivoire. Sections Section 1: First 7 minutes about Hack and SunCulture. Section 2: Next 40 minutes about SunCulture’s product and business.

Financial institutions have to take into both short term and long term horizons in assessing climate risks. This is not easy for banks in the emerging world. It requires expertise, access to data and new management processes. In this podcast, Rutang and myself explain the types of climate risks and we demystify climate risk scenarios which help financial institutions straddle these time horizons. Then we apply the concepts to banks in four emerging countries. Dr. Rutang Thanawalla is a risk assessment expert for financial institutions with experience across global commercial banks, credit rating agencies and consultancies. He now focuses on climate risks and sustainability finance. Sections Section 1: First 10 minutes introductions and climate risks. Section 2: Next 13 minutes about climate risk scenarios.

# 81 Rude awakening in Seychelles

Seychelles is the richest country in Africa but as a small island country it is also being impacted severely by climate change. Sadly it is not just climate changed caused by humanity as a whole, it is the damage to the environment that is caused by the individuals living in and visiting the islands. The environment damage is making it hard to grow food and the island is becoming more dependent on imported food. A GEF funded project is trying to reverse this using an integrated approach called Ridge to Reef. Listen to Johan Mendez, an international water expert who has made Seychelles his home explain the project. Sections Section 1: First 16 minutes about Johan and the issues in Seychelles.
