About the show

Eco Africa — inspiration for curious minds

Tired of news that leaves you anxious and powerless? That's why we make Eco Africa — a weekly show built on one idea: the people fixing this planet deserve to be seen. We meet innovators across Africa rewriting the rules of energy, food, fashion and mobility: the entrepreneur giving waste new life, the singer teaching kids to protect nature, the community taking on polluters, the Lagos creators making sustainability go viral.
