Asked by: Upper Tibetan Children's Village School | Makongo Secondary School

What would you have to say?

Although there are efforts to stop climate change but still many people are not aware of what really is climate change then this means more education programmes should be introduced especially in developing countries like Tanzania to make people aware of what climate change is.

Also I think it is important to publish a lot of journals, articles and educational materials which can be given freely or sold at a very affordable price to enable developing countries citizen to get knowledge about climate change and create awareness.
