Around the world, women and girls spend hours each day gathering firewood and breathing in smoke from open fires. Herbert Murungi, co-founder of the Rural Environmental Sustainability Initiative (RESI), wants to change that. Clean cooking protects women and girls, children's health and forest biodiversity across Sub-Saharan Africa, but helping people to switch is a financial, technical, and cultural challenge. In conversation with HERO's Mauricio Porras, Herbert explains how a 15-year-old girl set him on his path for climate justice, why kitchen cook-offs can challenge taste beliefs faster than top-down interventions, and how he balances being an environmental scientist and social entrepreneur with being a father, writer and storyteller.
Climate Humans is brought to you by HERO, the platform for people-powered climate solutions. Produced by Josie Colter and edited by Ben Beheshty at Studio Goldstar. Hosted by Mauricio Porras.
