Living Climate Change Africa Episode 5: Policy
11/17/22 • 19 min
The Paris agreement, the Montreal protocol, the Stockholm convention, the Bonn agreement ...there are countless agreements aimed at developing policies and getting countries to take action on climate change.
But climate scientists warn there is a gap between policy and action. We are currently on track for the Earth warming 2.8 degrees in this century – which would prove catastrophic for communities already struggling on the frontlines of climate change. And for communities in East Africa, these climate discussions are far removed from their daily lives.
In this fifth and final episode in our series, our host Diana Njeru explores what people in East Africa want from global leaders and policymakers, as they experience the extreme weather patterns caused by climate change.
