Listen "Small Changes, Big Impact EP 1: Introduction to the Africa SLCP Project"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the first ever episode of the Small Changes, Big Impact Series by Hali Hewa Podcast in collaboration with the Africa SLCP Project.
This series will see the production of 11 podcast episodes published on a monthly basis dedicated to creating awareness on Short Lived Climate Pollutants and highlighting the plight of air pollution in Africa, spotlighting experts from the African continent. Together we will break down these complex terms and concepts and help you to understand how you can both improve your health and live up to your personal responsibility as a citizen of the planet by reducing your emissions and in the long run, help to mitigate further impacts of climate change.
We are joined today by very special guests from the Africa SLCP Project.
Daisy Moso is a passionate researcher in the field of climatology, range and water resources management in arid and semi-arid lands. She is the Project and Climate Research Coordinator for the Africa SLCP Project.
Susan Aquila is an experienced communication specialist. She is the communications officer for the Africa SLCP Project
In this episode, Daisy Moso takes us through what Short Lived Climate Pollutants are and their sources. She also briefly highlights the various thematic areas of the Africa SLCP Project and how they all come together to help reduce SLCPs. A report on Kenya's SLCP (Short-Lived Climate Pollutants) is currently being prepared for release this year, which Daisy will also speak to. The report will focus on the effects of indoor air pollution caused by cooking methods that produce black carbon. This type of pollution is especially harmful to the respiratory health of women and children, who are most vulnerable. The report will also address vehicular emissions in specific parts of the country. Susan shares with us some of the challenges she has experienced in disseminating information on SLCPs,including low levels of awareness about the problem and the complicated language that is often used to explain what SLCPs are. Susan also shares with us her vision for the Small Changes, Big Impact series with the hope to bring more stakeholders on board to help reduce SLCPs and in the long run mitigate further impacts of climate change.
Enjoy the show!
