In this episode of the Sustainable Ambassador podcast, we speak with Nick Oldridge, about his work at the Climate Science Breakthrough to partner comedians and climate scientists in the hope that through the use of humor and hope a great level of engagement on the issues of climate change can be achieved.

It's an incredible conversation with a "regular dude" who saw the need for a shift in how we engage on this topic, and through our conversation we dive into the details about this incredible platform.

In this episode, we speak with the inspiring Isabel Andam, a passionate climate activist from Ghana, about her journey towards becoming a prominent youth activist in the fight against climate change.

It is an incredible conversation that starts with her journey to becoming an activist, the role she sees for youth activists, and the early skills, tools, and lessons she is gaining through this work that will support the development of her future career.

A career she expects will result in the delivery of real solutions to the problems she sees in the world.

About Isabel:

Isabel Andam is a passionate climate advocate and a firm believer in sustainable living who aspires to make a meaningful impact in the fields of climate action and youth empowerment. She has not only demonstrated her dedication through her education and experiences but also through her prestigious role as the Climate Vulnerable Forum's Youth Fellow for Ghana in the year 2022/2023.

During her required National Service in Ghana with the Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Change Unit, she began her journey into the world of climate change. This experience provided her with a solid foundation in climate policy and deep insights into the intricate workings of environmental protection.

As the Climate Vulnerable Forum's Youth Fellow, Isabel has had the opportunity to participate in negotiations at COP27, where she focused on the critical issue of Loss and Damage. This experience empowered her to speak up about the tangible impacts of climate change on her generation.

Currently, Isabel serves as a volunteer at the Strategic Youth Network for Development, she is actively working to inspire and engage young people to take an active interest in climate change and sustainable practices.

While her advocacy for climate action is still taking root, she aspires to collaborate with local NGOs and government agencies in the future, aiming to provide essential support and opportunities for street children, advocate for their rights, and work towards long-term solutions to this pressing social issue.

In this episode, I speak with Joshua Amponsem and Nathaniel Matthews about their work to drive conversations, partnerships, and programs that drive climate resilience and adaption through their community partners.

Driven by their work supporting local communities, and recognizing that many of these areas are already experiencing the impact of climate change, their work is centered around building community-led partnership models, and through our conversation we speak about the challenges they see, shifting conversations toward resilience, and building partnerships.

This is an excellent conversation that identifies a number of barriers but speaks to the power of communities, trusts, and great partnerships to deliver solutions.
