Women’s Planning Meeting : Climate Change hits the poor hardest.
Description
Today’s session was to give a basic background about climate change and it’s impact on our communities. We have learned that fossils fuel such as coal ,oil and gas are causes of climate change .This fossil fuel releases gases such as methane,nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases are called greenhouses gases which forms a layer or a blanket in the atmosphere and traps the heat that causes climate change. This hits, hardest, mostly on the poor because their rivers,dams and all sources of water that communities are dependent gets dry.
South Africa is already facing draught and we are water scarce country
