In Season 3 of Black Earth Podcast, we are meeting visionary black women who are creating innovations inspired by nature.
In this episode, we meet Dr. Mfoniso Antia who is a scientist and Programme Manager at the Health of Mother Earth Foundation in Nigeria. Health of Mother Earth Foundation is a pioneering ecological think tank advocating for environmental justice and food sovereignty in Nigeria and Africa at large.
Dr. Mfoniso is from the Niger Delta in Nigeria, which is a culturally and resource rich region that has been tragically impacted by fossil fuel extraction for several generations. Fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas are burned to be used as sources of energy for human activity around the world.
In this episode, we discuss the environmental, human, and political impacts of fossil fuel extraction in Nigeria.
We also discuss what a socially just energy transition looks like that centers the dignity and well-being of most-affected communities.
Join us for this powerful and enlightening episode.
