FEATURE: A unified move on hunger and climate change

>Studies out of Ethiopia, India, Kenya and Niger show that children born during natural hazards, like droughts or floods, are more likely to be malnourished.

The issue before the world, at this point in time, is not about why climate change is a threat and who is to blame for it. The most important matter before us now is about how to adapt and how to mitigate climate change effects.

>If there is a continent that should thank God, it is Africa. We are not so prone to natural disasters such as mega floods, which is one of the deadly impacts of climate change. What we suffer most from is food insecurity, which is also part of the impacts of climate change.

Tanzania should do its bit on climate change

There were repeated calls this past week to save the glaciers on top of Mount Kilimanjaro that have been melting at an alarming rate. There is no denying that Africa’s Rooftop, as Mt Kilimanjaro is affectionately known, has seen a fair share of its snow vanish following decades of environmental degradation and global warming.
