Climate Change Presentation

What it means for Southern Africa and how can we prepare ourselves for tomorrow.

Introduction

2026 has been a turbulent year for many communities around the world. Riding the wave of an already warming planet, one of the strongest El Nino ever on record is giving the world a taste of the future.

Europe recorded the hottest summer on record and experienced devastating run away fires. A rock and ice avalanche swept down a valley on the Nepal-China border, killing thousands of people. In the USA, communities lost their battle with the sea as storms and high tides hit coastal areas. As typhoon Dujuan swept over Japan, over 1.6 million people were evacuated from their homes. The 2026 El Nino event is predicted to kill over 400,000 people worldwide. Although, 2026 marked a turning point in our planet, 2027 is lining up to be a year to remember, but for the wrong reasons and this is before the full impact of climate change will be felt.. 

In this presentation, Jonathan focuses upon why climate change, why it is such a big deal, how it will effect Southern Africa, and more importantly, how can we prepare ourselves for tomorrow.
