Climat Change
BY Wallace Mawire Harare : The British Council in Zimbabwe has initiated a climate change challenge for school children to increase their understanding and awareness of climate change issues. According to the British Council, the challenge is targeting school children between 12 and 18 years and they have to submit a short essay on what climate change means to them.Winners of the challenge will be presented with prizes which include text books and I-Pods.
The challenge is also meant to lead to consensus building about climate actions and solutions.The council notes that climate change is the biggest challenge currently facing mankind and its impact will affect all, but inevitably some more than others. It also notes that unless emissions of greenhouse gases are limited within the next decade or so, the economic and social impacts will escalate with catastrophic outcomes.
