In this video, I delve into the pressing issue of the climate crisis, set against the backdrop of the Bonn conference and as we look ahead to COP27. I explore the alarming severity of the situation and the growing urgency for meaningful action. However, I also highlight the concerning trend of governments increasingly turning to incrementalism—offering half-measures and vague promises rather than taking bold, decisive steps to tackle climate change head-on. Join me as I break down how these political maneuvers undermine the real progress we need and discuss the critical choices we must make to secure a livable future.Watch my interview
In this video, I explore the impact of Stage 3 load shedding in South Africa and how the ongoing energy crisis has evolved into a serious human rights issue. I discuss how the failure to provide consistent electricity not only disrupts daily life but also creates negative externalities that affect access to essential services like healthcare, clean water, and sanitation. With frequent power outages, hospitals struggle to operate, water treatment plants face challenges, and communities are left vulnerable. Join me as I unpack the broader implications of this energy failure and why it’s crucial to address it for the well-being and rights of South Africa's citizens
In this video, marking the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Paris Agreement, I join Globe host Peter Ndoro to discuss the European Union's ambitious commitment to reduce emissions by 55% over the next 10 years. We break down the significance of this pledge, the challenges that lie ahead, and what this bold move means for global climate action. Tune in as we analyze how EU leaders are positioning themselves to meet these goals and the potential impact of their decisions on both the EU and the world.
In this video, I joined Newzroom Africa straight from Dubai’s COP28 conference to engage in a debate on the severity of the climate crisis. We discuss the urgent challenges facing the world, the latest developments from the conference, and the actions—or lack thereof—needed to address the escalating climate emergency. Tune in as we unpack the critical issues at the heart of COP28 and explore the global responsibility to take meaningful action before it’s too late.
In this video, I explain the reasons behind Greenpeace Africa's protest during the 2023 Energy Indaba, where we disrupted the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy's keynote address. I speak to journalists about why we took this stand, shedding light on the urgent need for a shift in South Africa's energy policies. The protest highlights the environmental and social consequences of continued reliance on fossil fuels and the demand for a just, sustainable energy future. Watch as I unpack our message and the broader implications for South Africa's energy transition.
In this video, I sit down with Carte Blanche to discuss the downfalls of biofuels, focusing on their competition for land use and their unintended role in exacerbating the climate crisis. We explore how the push for biofuels is putting pressure on agricultural land, threatening food security, and contributing to environmental degradation. Tune in as we unpack the complex issues surrounding biofuels and why we must reconsider their place in the fight against climate change.
In this video, I spoke to eNCA about Greenpeace Africa’s call for a national climate emergency in response to a series of devastating climate-related disasters, including the KZN floods. We discuss how declaring a climate emergency could help expedite critical adaptation measures, enabling South Africa to better respond to the increasing impacts of climate change. Tune in as we explore the urgency of this call and what immediate actions are needed to protect vulnerable communities and the environment.
