Season V: We are back

Season V: We are back

Welcome to Season V of the Green Living Chats podcast.

In nature, all species live such that their resources and by-product form part of and nourish nature's regenerative ecosystem - there is nothing like waste. However, humans have created a different ecosystem for ourselves that has, for years, breached nature's rules of "No waste allowed" and instead potentially offset nature's cycles. Our footprint on earth hasn't been much more evident than it is today - "Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe – with widespread loss and damage to both nature and people" - IPCC 2023.

In response, we are actively embracing renewable energies, setting carbon-neutral targets, adopting circular and regenerative economies, and striving for sustainability to reduce our environmental footprint. All stakeholders approach these solutions from their unique perspectives, as there is no single "standard" for sustainable practices. If nature were a business partner, which solutions would she invest in?

Our theme for Season V is "Sustainable Solutions" - Join us on every episode as we explore global solutions in water, air, land, biodiversity and different ecosystems.

Tackling air pollution in Ghana (Africa) - what you should know || Collins Gameli Hodoli

Tackling air pollution in Ghana (Africa) - what you should know || Collins Gameli Hodoli

Collins Gameli Hodoli is a curious environmental scientist with a passion for environmental sustainability and public health protection. A Pan African whose research interest cuts across DIY and IoT approaches to revolutionize air quality monitoring in Ghana and wider Africa. He holds a PhD in Environment and Agrifood (Environmental Technology); published in peer-reviewed journals, and offered thoughts on the usefulness of meaningful open-source air quality data to engage, educate and empower African citizens on the health-damaging impacts of air pollution. 

He is the founder and director of Operations for Clean Air One Atmosphere (CAOA) - a non-profit he founded during the first year of his PhD studies at Cranfield University, UK. To the best of his knowledge, CAOA is the first organisation in Africa to have built and launched a flagship mobile application that meaningfully communicates air quality data which also includes population health surveillance data to support air pollution health effects studies. His work cuts across air pollution research in West Africa.

Event PROMO: The "Philosophy in PhD" PodiNar series - Part II

Event PROMO: The "Philosophy in PhD" PodiNar series - Part II

Event PROMO! Event PROMO! Event PROMO!

The Green Living Chats podcast presents the "Philosophy in PhD" PodiNar series. 

In this second program of the podinar series, we hope to achieve two main objectives:

  1. Discuss the value of learning to summarize big ideas: According to Arckam's razor, Truth Is Simple. Therefore, the ability of any graduate student to present their opinions or findings in concise and coherent words reflects how well they have thought about them and understand them. Here we discuss the 3minutes thesis module.
  2. Developing interdisciplinary research collaborations: Ideas do not reside in one mind or field. Therefore, to adequately tackle problems in society, reasons must come together. But what is the value of this? What does it look like?

Attendees will benefit from developing a 3-mins thesis presentation and cultivating interdisciplinary research collaborations.

All graduate students are invited.

Find more details about registration here: https://glcpodcast.ecoametsolutions.com/.

The 4th Ghana Green Building Summit 2021

The 4th Ghana Green Building Summit 2021

The Annual Ghana Green Building Summit (GGBS) was created in 2017 to evaluate Ghana’s Green Building needs and tailor the local design, finance, and policy solutions. In the past three editions, prior speakers have included ministers of state, policymakers, international development agencies, industry experts and professional associations. 

Having had the opportunity to discuss materials and design extensively in past year summits, this year we are highlighting how efficient operational management of a building’s life cycle can contribute immensely to increased comfort, financial savings and reduction in carbon emissions.

This inspired the 2021 theme: Re-thinking Operations Management for High-Performance Buildings.

Some confirmed speakers for the Summit are the Minister of Works and Housing, Ghana; Minister of Energy, Ghana; Mayor of Accra; Industry experts from Denmark, Nigeria, South Africa and the UK will present at the Summit.
