by AfricaclimatePodcastTechnology

In this episode of Frontrunners Innovate, we invite a young voice for climate action to the podcast to share with us his journey into the leadership spotlight for this important cause. Blutus Mbambi has been working on his education that wraps around the critical aspects of climate – from policy and diplomacy down to the core of the involved science and even community building. He’s been rewarded with a stage for his voice and some recognition from UNESCO and the United Nations. For him, this is a “must-do” and he wants more than anything for his voice to be heard because he realizes he carries the voices of many with him who cannot be heard.
