Champions of climate change

This year's World Environment Day is an important moment to reflect on the pressing issue of climate change in Zambia and throughout Africa. As we mark this occasion, it is crucial to recognize the impact of climate change on our environment, communities, and wildlife.

In Zambia, like many countries in Africa, the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly severe. From rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns to more frequent extreme weather events, the implications of climate change are visible and felt by all. This not only threatens the delicate balance of ecosystems but also endangers the livelihoods of many people who depend on agriculture, forestry, and fishing for their sustenance.

One of the key aspects of combating climate change is raising awareness and empowering individuals to take action. Education on sustainable practices, conservation efforts, and renewable energy sources can play a significant role in mitigating the impact of climate change. By promoting initiatives that focus on reforestation, waste management, water conservation, and the use of clean energy, we can work towards building a more sustainable future for Zambia and Africa as a whole.

Additionally, advocating for policies that prioritize environmental protection and sustainable development is crucial. Governments, businesses, and communities must work together to implement strategies that reduce carbon emissions, protect biodiversity, and promote resilience to the changing climate. By fostering collaboration and cooperation at all levels, we can create a unified front against the challenges posed by climate change.

Furthermore, recognizing the interconnected nature of climate change and other global issues is essential. Addressing climate change goes hand in hand with efforts to alleviate poverty, improve access to education and healthcare, and promote social justice. By adopting a holistic approach to sustainable development, we can create a world that is not only environmentally healthy but also equitable and prosperous for all.

As we commemorate World Environment Day in Zambia and Africa at large, let us commit to being stewards of the environment and champions for climate action. Together, we can make a difference by taking small steps in our daily lives to reduce our carbon footprint, protect natural resources, and advocate for policies that preserve our planet for future generations. Climate change is a global challenge that requires collective action, and by uniting our voices and efforts, we can build a more sustainable and resilient future for all. Let us seize this opportunity to recommit ourselves to protecting our environment and securing a better world for ourselves and the generations to come.

Last Friday Zambia received the climate justice Touch it was nice seeing people from all walks of life 🇿🇦🇿🇲🇲🇼🇨🇬🇧🇾

Earth Will Continue to Warm and the Effects Will Be Profound...

🤔 Climate change affects the social and environmental determinants of health – clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food and secure shelter... Despite all the changes in these areas why don't we change in the way we do things.... 🥺
because climate is not changing in a positive way but in a negative way and it is badly affecting everyone and everything... including government.🧏

First held in 1973, World Environment Day is described as “a global platform for inspiring positive change” by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the organization that created it.
It is now the largest global environmental event, with millions of people in more than 150 countries participating. The idea is to engage “governments, businesses, civil society, schools, celebrities, cities and communities in raising awareness and celebrating environmental action”.
This year 2022 World Environment Day, with the theme Only One Earth' focussing on living sustainably in harmony with nature is being hosted by Sweden, campaigns for “collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet”, encouraging everyone, everywhere, to live sustainably and take action on the climate crisis...

Happy ENVIRONMENT DAY everyone.

PUTTING PRESSURE ON GOVERNMENTS AND BUSINESSES is one way to slow down climate change and eventually stop it completely...🤔 If that is possible...on the other hand we can look at this in a different way if we:
=>Keep fossil fuels in the ground. ...
=>Invest in renewable energy. ...
=>Switch to sustainable transport. ...
=>Help us keep our homes cosy. ...
=>Improve farming and encourage vegan diets. ...
=>Restore nature to absorb more carbon. ...
=>Protect forests ...
{We will look at details soon}

Things we don't pay attention to... did you know Plastic water bottles eventually break down to release a harmful component called, DIETHYLHYDROXYLAMINE (DEHA). (A carcinogen which hurts our reproductive capabilities, causes liver dysfunction and weight loss issues.) This product may persist in the environment. It is toxic to aquatic life (E.g fish) with long lasting effects... take care of the environment

People depend on the environment for their livelihoods,
If you work in an office setting...you may not think about how the environment affects peoples’ lives and jobs. However, a lot of people depend on the environment in many different ways,a poor working environment has a negative affects on people... we can also Take forests, for example, millions of people rely on forests for food, shelter, medicine and more...

We had a very educative meeting with the AND PUBLIC HEALTH TRUST-EAPHET when visited there office 🥰 It is our collective and individual responsibility …to preserve the world in which we all live... making it a better place for future generations to come.

Champions of climate change team on the Copperbelt Province (Zambia) had prepared well for this year's youth day... Knowing that ...The duty of the youth is to change the future for the better, so young people must be on the frontlines of the struggle to build a better life and future for all.

Did you know Broken Hill Mine in (Kabwe) is one of the oldest Mines in Zambia... making kabwe town the most polluted places in Africa and the world, this is because of lead and zinc mining TO BE CONTINUED 🤔

Did you know Ngwenya Mine is located on Bomvu Ridge, northwest of Mbabane and near the northwestern border of Eswatini (Swaziland) is considered to be the world's oldest Mine... it was opened in 41,000 years ago (oldest mine known in History)🤔

we feel happy when we see our government getting involved in replenishing the environment,this means they care much for the environment we live in ...this gives us hope in the fight against climate change... For example minister of green economy has been instrumental and practical from the time he came into office we're happy and excited to have him around us.

We have to replenish our environment

When we take care of the environment, it also takes care of us.
