In this wide-ranging discussion, we chat about the role of the gender dimension in sustainable development, more specifically food supply and in response to COVID19. Women are currently at the forefront in the response to COVID19 as frontline workers, whether in the healthcare or retail sector. What do we need to do ensure that responding to the COVID response is gender-sensitive, to ensure that those at the forefront of the crisis are supported.

We chat to him about the importance of evidence-based decision making and why investing in state of the art data-centres is critical for Africa. We also chat about how the Fund can be accessed by none-state actors including independent project developers and researchers.

The Covid19 pandemic is wreaking economic havoc across Africa, and as countries prepare to salvage jobs and prepare to re-ignite their economies, we should not lose focus of our long term commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In Part II of our chat with Mr Gareth Phillips, Manager of Environment and Climate Change at the African Development Bank (AfDB), we discuss the progress African countries have made to mobilise climate finance. We also delve into some details, around the barriers faced, and what measures are in place to overcome those barriers.

In this episode, I interview Ms Anuradha Rao, author of the book entitled "One Earth: People of Color Protecting the Planet". Anu is extremely passionate about amplifying the voices of indigenous communities in environmental conservation. This podcast focuses on what inspired her to write this book, and how she thinks the environmental movement could be more inclusive. She argues that we need to provide more platforms to changemakers on the ground, who are doing incredible work, but not often provided the opportunities to amplify their voices.
