The planet Earth is in constant motion- rotation and revolution, thus, air is distributed globally. The effects of global warming affects every nation, directly or indirectly and so it should be a global responsibility.
The high level of ignorance and illiteracy on the side of most individuals makes it difficult to communicate the need to act on climate change – adaptation and mitigation. Some incidents in local communities, however, makes it easier to communicate climate change impacts and call for necessary action.
Explaining, global warming effects and how the weather pertains have change even at house the rainfall periods have changed, serves as evidence for persons who doubt the democratic nature of climate impact. Bit by bit, Mt elgon and other high altitude areas nolonger get heavy rains it used to experience some 20 years back the dry land being covered by the water by a destructive mix of natural erosion and human meddling. This has led the government of Kenya to start an initiative of tree planting across the country.
The agricultural sector which contributes a lot to the GDP of the country is now being affected due to unpredictable rainfall pattern which has also led to more losses that expected.
Despite all these challenges and impacts of climate change, the country has not been able to communicate climate change impacts and the call for climate action to its citizens. Is it lack of understanding? Or we just don’t prioritize our environmental safety! Kenya as a developing country in 2023 has reported cases of flooding and destruction of infrustructure in almost all the parts of the country. Disaster is still to come, and we all need to understand the democratic impact of having an unsafe environment. The rich can choose not to eat or stay at any place but the rich doesn’t decide the kind of air he wants to breath, it’s about time we prioritize our environment and implement the set rules and legalities assigned to ensure a safe environment for our incoming generations.
We should be mindful in keeping our communities clean. If you keep your house and its surroundings clean and your neighbour does the same, together we will have a clean community and thus, a clean Kenya. Public education should be welcomed and introduced to our rural and city communities who usually regard water bodies as dumping site which prevents flow and causes lots of impact aside the trending climate change impacts that hits the country.
Climate Change is not a myth, as some do regard it as such due to illiteracy, and together we must create much awareness and help communicate the message to call until we have a national and global climate action movement.
