Brain Trust | Razak - Climatepreneurship
A Brain Trust is a 1-hour group brainstorming session where experts from the RIVET ecosystem provide feedback and advice on a challenge or initiative that a social innovator is working on.
Razak is a climatepreneur whose work sits at the crossroads of climate resilience, water justice, and gender equality. His thinking is shaped by lived experience: watching his family’s farm slowly turn to desert, seeing water sources shared between people and animals, and witnessing the disproportionate impact of climate change on women farmers in his community. Through a climatepreneurship lens, Razak is exploring how practical, community-owned solutions such as demonstration farms, solar-powered irrigation, clean water systems and hands-on training can restore agency where climate shocks have taken it away.
