Blutus Mbambi Leads Youth to Create Climate Action

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. We share this episode at the beginning of “Climate Month 2024.” Please share to others, particularly the youth in your area.

Sarah Perreard is a founder (Plasteax-plastic environmental analytics) and a leader in the environmental services consultancy, Earth Action. She understands the value of research and data to motivate real progress for climate action through correcting pathways to a greater circular economy.

Her ability to take thought-leadership and research to action through an event like Plastic Overshoot Day shows us all that whatever information does to point us in the right direction, nothing will happen until we make it happen.

In this episode:

Sarah shares a bit about her journey and what she and her team are doing to create greater awareness and activity around circular economy. She tells us what partners she needs to advance research and what new area of focus they’ll be working on in November of 2024.
