A country that truly wants to address its climate change crisis will respect, improve and also invest in education and research.

CT0032: Urine-powered generators and the future of alternative energy sources.
In a world where 1 litre of urine is as effective as 7 litres of fuel to meet our energy needs, how is it that 2 billion people remain without access to electricity and 80% of our energy source is fossil fuel-based?
Ejikeme Patrick Nwosu is my guest on this episode of the Climate Talk Podcast, he is a researcher and the CEO of Lumos Laboratories, Nigeria. He believes that cleaner energy alternatives can power our world. One of his six patent/registered innovations is the generation of hydrogen-ammonia-rich flammable gases from human and animal urine.
After listening to this episode of the podcast, you will agree with the likes of Al Gore, Johan Rockström, and Antonio Guterres that we have the solutions, we have the technologies to address climate change what we need is:
- Invest in resources to scale
- Rally the political will, and
- Build a collective drive to move faster in the same direction.

CT0030 – Environmental practices and how they are shaped.
What do you think influences the search results you get on Google, Facebook, Bing, etc.? From restaurants to shopping malls, in what subtle ways are we being nudged to embrace (or not) certain environmental practices? Can we find improved ways to communicate climate change and is there a need for that?
How beautiful could our world be if we put into use just a fraction of the thousands of recommendations in research, journals and publications sitting in physical libraries and digital catalogues across the world?
My guest, Malte Rödl and I, on this episode of the Climate Talk Podcast reflect on various topics around environmental governance practices. Squeezed into 30 insightful minutes and using simple terms, find answers to these questions and many more on this episode of the Climate Talk Podcast.

CT0028: 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. Each week he interviews expert guests and tackles hard topics on caring for our planet, in a fun way from an 11-year-old’s perspective. When he is not working on podcasts, you can find Zach in California working on magic tricks, chess, 3D printing, and Rubik's cube.
