Following the Path of the Next Generation: Youth Climate Activist Kiefer Mes
In this episode of Mada Fyah André talks to Belizean youth climate activist Kiefer Mes. Kiefer is the president of the Southern Youth Development Organization and was recently selected to
represent Belize at the Global Conference of Youth in Scotland, the largest youth event that unites youth activists to discuss with global leaders solutions to environmental problems such as climate change.
Kiefer talks to André about his perspective on the climate crisis as a young activist in light of a survey report released the week of September 13 by Oxford University, showing that young folks across ten countries are overwhelmingly scared for their future in light of the impacts of global warming. He also discusses his early environmental education, his interest in mangrove planting, and his hopes for what the national government can do to mitigate the worse of the climate crisis.

Customer Reviews
Pertinent and informative
A much needed podcast for discussing all things environmental and climate change as it pertains to Belize and ultimately the broader globe. I enjoy the diversity of guests on the show and the discussions that help relate the issues to society and everyday life
Clear, Conversational, Captivating
André and Digna are a refreshingly captivating duo that raise awareness and provide valuable context on noteworthy and interesting topics. They and their guests uniquely draw you into their conversations, that are educational, fun, clear and conversational.
The Forest Conservation episode is a must listen
This episode features the powerful voice of Dr Elma Kay one of Belize’s conservation leaders. Her empowering response to the idea of “political will” in protecting Belize, its people and the ecosystems on which they hits the nail on the head.
Her words reflect the passion of a native Belizean who in the most clear terms illustrates why Belize needs sustainable land conservation and use.
The hosts appear to be learning on the fly. At times in the interview the hosts struggled to break through naive assumptions to get the most out of this interview. Their lack of preparation to interview a is obvious.
The important thing is Mada Fyah is an important voice and the hosts will only get better at the craft of podcasting.
