In this episode of the Conversations on Climate podcast, we have the extraordinary privilege of speaking with His Royal Majesty NOTSE NII NORTEY OWUO IV, the esteemed King of the Osu people of Ghana.

 

Our royal guest shares invaluable insights on:

 

• Traditional wisdom and its role in modern climate solutions

• The impact of climate funding in Ghana and its global ripple effects

• Bridging generational gaps in environmental awareness and action

• The intersection of traditional leadership and democratic approaches to the climate crisis

• Lessons from West African culture that can inform global green initiatives

 

HRM NOTSE NII NORTEY OWUO IV brings a unique perspective, blending ancestral knowledge with a keen understanding of contemporary challenges.

He discusses how supporting climate initiatives in West Africa can have far-reaching impacts, even influencing communities across the Atlantic. This episode offers a rare glimpse into how leaders in the global south are adapting to and addressing climate change, providing listeners with a thought-provoking blend of cultural wisdom and environmental urgency.

 

"How does me supporting funding for climate solutions in Takoradi in Ghana affect someone in Islington in London?"

"There's this African word no ubuntu, which is: "I am, because you are". If we keep that in mind… whatever system we build… it should work."

"…there's power in uniting our voices to stand for what is right and what you truly believe…"

"…I spent the entire meeting listening to my team. I speak as a leader… I have the benefit of the wisdom of so many… "

 

Join us for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is inspiring, as we explore the connections of responsibility across continents and generations in the face of our shared climate crisis.
