In this podcast, Kathleen and her guest, Dee Doheny, discuss Dee's work in West Africa on nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change and support economic development. Dee describes herself as an investor, facilitator, and change agent for these projects. The conversation revolves around Dee's journey, which began when a friend in Ghana invited her to help with his vision for progress in Accra. They initially planned to establish a tech center but shifted their focus to carbon markets and nature-based solutions.

Dee talks about a specific project in the Volta River Estuary, aimed at reforesting degraded land and sequestering carbon while supporting local communities. She emphasizes the economic challenges faced by these communities and the need for sustainable change. Other projects involving mangroves and the decline in fish populations are also mentioned.

The importance of engaging the community, addressing infrastructure and economic issues, and the potential of carbon credits are discussed. Dee also mentions her involvement with a Decarbonisation corporation and how her role as COO evolved.

The podcast highlights the importance of nature-based solutions in addressing climate change and supporting communities in West Africa. It also touches on the challenges of dreaming big, seeking funding, and the importance of networking and staying motivated during setbacks.

The discussion is important as it sheds light on the strategies and challenges involved in scaling up a regenerative agriculture project and the significance of addressing social and economic issues in the process. It also emphasizes the importance of believing in one's dreams and taking consistent action to make them a reality.
