We tell climate and environmental stories from an African perspective. Using this podcast and Africa Climate Conversations YouTube, we share these stories through expert in-depth conversations and human interest stories from the field. Hello, and welcome. My name is Sophie Mbugua, and I am from Kenya. I am an environmental journalist passionate about Africa, my motherland, nature, and travel. I started this podcast in 2022 after reporting for numerous international, local, and regional media outlets on climate change and the environment. But over the years, I have noted huge gaps in reporting these narratives from an African perspective.As an African journalist, producing this podcast is my contribution to the Africa we want for us and our future generations. Please subscribe, listen, and share. Let's shape the future African climate change and environmental narratives together. Watch us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@africaclimateconversations
