What is Climate Change?

Climate Change is the greatest treat that is facing our world today. Extreme temperatures and massive change in weather patterns, erratic rainfall, excessive and prolonged drought are all indication of climate change. The effect will be felt all over Africa as it is with the rest of the world.

Over the years, there is no coherent voice for Africa that is addressing this issue, it was against this background that the coalition was established. 

What People say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Two thousand scientist, in hundred countries, engaged in the most elaborate, well organized scientific collaboration in the history of mankind, have produced long-since a consensus that we will face a string of terrible catastrophes unless we act to prepare ourselves and deal with the underlying causes of global warming"
