The headlines are clear. Human suffering from a changing climate is escalating and projections show clearly how it will worsen. Equally clear is the need for climate action by all sectors - government, business, advocacy and education organizations - action that will first slow down the inevitable, and eventually help to stabilize the change.As prominent global leader and environmental advocate Wanjira Mathai said in a recent National Geographic article, “Addressing climate change for Kenya, and I dare say for Africa, is a matter of life and death. We don’t have an option, neither do we have much time.” This is fast becoming true for much of the world.
