Learners attend climate change workshop

The SA Climate Change Champs recently held a presentation and design workshop in Gqeberha.

The workshop was attended by high school learners from James Jolobe Secondary School, Walmer High School and Lungiso High School. In the workshop discussions covered various topics related to renewable energy and climate change mitigation and adaptation.

In the community of Humansdorp the changes are water scarcity, loadshedding and pollution. A platform was provided to the learners to voice out their problems, find solutions and identify the impact thereof.

“South Africa is not in a stable position economically to rescue Eskom’s grid collapse. In our community we need to study by using candles because of loadshedding. We need to raise awareness about the benefits of renewable energy,” said Lonwabo Nota.

“Not only will this assist the citizens of South Africa but also the world because we would be moving from a fossil fuel-based economy to low carbon.”
