Ayan Mahamoud: “East Africa and the Poly-Crisis”

The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens - Podcast autorstwa Nate Hagens - Środy

On this episode, Nate talks with Ayan Mahamoud, a climate and resilience planner from Djibouti. They discuss the growing challenge the poly-crisis poses for the Global South and how climate change is already creating challenges for people (and animals) in East Africa.In many ways, the discussions in our world are not only energy blind but also blind to accelerating threats to nations outside our own.
