Living Climate Change Africa Episode 3: Decision-making
11/15/22 • 19 min
How do you make critical decisions about your livelihood without trusted information?
The increasingly unpredictable climate in East Africa is making it harder to make decisions – about whether to follow age-old migration patterns, which crops to grow, or when to go out on the water to fish.
These decisions affect people’s lives and their very identities – so trusted information is critical. In this episode, our host, Diana Njeru, explores how people in East Africa are making these tough decisions, and what that means for their livelihoods and their traditions.

Living Climate Change Africa Episode 2: Adaptation
(Content warning: this episode contains mentions of suicide)
Human beings are some of the most adaptable species on Earth – building structures to last centuries, domesticating plants and animals and creating technology to connect us around the world. But we all face a new challenge: adapting to and surviving extreme weather caused by climate change. And this is a huge challenge for poor communities who are most at risk.
This episode, presented by Diana Njeru, explores how people in East Africa are trying to adapt to the rapidly changing climate, and how they are coping when they cannot.
