Youth at the Forefront of Sustainable Development
This podcast episode explores sustainable energy and climate resilience with the founder of the Youth Sustainable Development Network (YSDN). It highlights YSDN's journey, driven by a passion for community development, and showcases the CoolCycle Project—an innovative initiative repurposing old generator casings into sustainable cooling solutions for farmers. Funded by the UK government and other partners, the project combats food spoilage and reduces hazardous waste using renewable energy, exemplifying circular economy principles.
The discussion also examines the limited urgency around climate change in regions like Nigeria, citing socio-economic priorities, policy inconsistency, and perceptions of climate change as a "Western issue." The guest advocates integrating sustainability into education, building a skilled workforce, and fostering a long-term mindset. Industries adopting sustainable practices can gain economic and reputational advantages, with technology, innovation, and collaboration identified as key to advancing the sustainable energy sector.
