Straight from an Africa COP: The potential of renewables and the rise of the JETP

,
The partnership’s penultimate podcast looks at the just energy transition through the lens of Africa including the position on gas in the energy transition, the unexploited wind potential in the region and the rise of the JETP. GWEC’s Reshmi Ladwa is joined by Wangari Muchiri, Director of Africa Wind Power also at GWEC to discuss their lived Africa COP experience. The conversation addresses the narrative associated with gas and the deployment of renewables in Africa. As the continent develops and industrialises we discuss the positive impacts that the acceleration of renewables can have on nations. Ensuring a just energy transition in the form of national frameworks can further lessen the burden faced by the most impacted stakeholders in the energy transition. Join us as we discuss live from week one of COP!

Energy Security, Energy Justice and Net Zero – A Solutions Based Approach

,
The Conduit and GWEC's fourth partnership podcast looks at energy security, energy justice and net zero - a solutions based approach. GWEC’s Reshmi Ladwa is joined by Miguel Viana, Head of IR and Sustainability at EDP and EDPR to discuss this topic using a solutions based approach. The conversation addresses the recent geopolitical conflicts as a result of the invasion of Ukraine and rising energy prices. There is a window of opportunity for the renewables industry to provide a solution to these challenges. Join us as we take a solutions based approach to see how renewables can be a three stop solution to reaching net zero, energy security and energy justice.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

,
In The Conduit and GWEC's third partnership podcast looks at Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and how this acts as a barrier to specific groups of people and minorities to joining the green economy. GWEC’s Reshmi Ladwa is joined by Amisha Patel, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Mainstream Renewable Power to discuss this topic from a more personal viewpoint. The conversations looks at some of the real life issues that people face in entering or even maintaining a career in the energy and renewables industry, and how these can be accounted for by a lack of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Climate Anxiety

,
In The Conduit and GWEC's second partnership podcast we look at a topic lots of people wrestle with, but not everyone fully recognises. We're talking about climate anxiety and its effects on society. GWEC’s Reshmi Ladwa is joined by Sacha Wright, Research and Curriculum coordinator at the Force of Nature, to delve into this emerging area of discussion which picks apart attitudes and starts to unravel how climate anxieties affect people and play out into wider society.

The Rise of Misinformation

,
The Conduit and GWEC's first partnership podcast looks at one of the threats to the transition: The rise of misinformation. We spoke to the panel of the recent GWEC/Conduit Club event on the subject, about why this problem is spiking, and what organisations are doing about it (or not doing about it, as is often the case). GWEC’s Reshmi Ladwa and Ben Backwell are joined by Jennie King, who is Head of Civic Action and Education at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, and Mai Rosner, who is a campaigner at Global Witness, looking at the Digital Threats to Democracy.
