The Climate Gist Podcast

We keep talking about climate. But what about the money?

When people talk about climate change in Africa, the conversation often focuses on the challenges: rising temperatures, extreme weather, food insecurity, energy access.

But there’s another side of Africa’s climate transition that deserves more attention: the economy.

What does the green economy actually look like for everyday Africans; not in theory, but in practice?

Where are the real economic opportunities in Africa’s climate transition? And are we paying enough attention to the jobs, businesses, investments and industries that could emerge from it?

In this episode of Climate Gist Live, we explore the economics of Africa’s climate future and ask a bigger question:

If African governments could get just one economic climate decision right in the next five years, what should it be?

This is a conversation about climate, money, opportunity and the future of Africa.

A student can go through years of Nigerian education and graduate without ever having a meaningful conversation about climate change.

But how do you prepare young people for the future without preparing them for the climate future?

In this episode of Climate Gist Live, Dr. Bamidele joins Loveth to unpack the gap between climate change and education in Nigeria, why it exists, what needs to change, and what meaningful climate education could actually look like.

The climate future is already here. The question is: are we preparing for it?

Every story starts with a WHY. 🌍

Before the conversations, the community, and Climate Gist Live, there was an idea: climate conversations shouldn’t feel complicated, distant, or disconnected from everyday life.

In THE BIRTH, we go back to the beginning, how Climate Gist started, why we started it, what we wanted to do differently, and the vision behind it all.

This is the story behind Climate Gist.
This is where it all began.

How do you talk about climate change with friends who are just figuring it out too? You invite them on your podcast and find out together.

This episode is for the “I kinda care... but what does carbon footprint even mean?” crew. Bolu and Victor showed up with curiosity, jokes, and a little chaos, and we love them for it.

From explaining climate buzzwords like they’re talking to a five-year-old, to wild Would You Rather questions (Solar home with no internet or fossil fuel life with unlimited WiFi?), this episode is for anyone who’s still finding their feet in the climate conversation.

Listen.

Laugh.

Think a little.

And maybe even change one small thing in your life.

✨ Bonus twist: Each guest was secretly sent their partner’s questions ahead of time, but had no clue what they would be asked! The reactions? Completely unscripted.

In this episode of The Climate Gist, we gist with Jamil, a certified fine boy with vibes and questions. From sitting in Lagos traffic to getting caught in floods, Jamil shares his unfiltered thoughts on how his everyday lifestyle connects to climate change.

Would he ever ditch his car for public transport? We laughed, we learned, and yes, he dropped his steeze (a little).
