Africa Science Focus

Climate education for future progress

SciDev.Net Season 3 Episode 35

In Africa, rising temperatures have resulted in extreme weather events like floods and droughts that threaten lives and livelihoods. In order to tackle climate change, people need  to know how to take action. And the younger they are when they lean, the better.

In this episode of Africa Science Focus, we speak to the founders of social enterprise Earth Warriors, who tell us about their curriculum creation initiative. Keya Lamba, a co-founder of Earth Warriors, tells us about the approach they take in building curriculums for school students. Shweta Bahri, explains how climate knowledge is already being infused in schools in some countries in Africa.
