Climate Change and Education on the Africa Continent

Nowadays, it is universally accepted that the exodus of the peoples from the African continent all those millenia ago gave the rest of the world our populations; it is a historical fact that it is they are the ones who migrated across the globe in the great human diasporas. It is a pitiful shame that the very same continent which spawned the original trailblazing migrations is hit by a double whammy. First, the descendants of those earliest peoples invaded Africa continent to enslave, pillage and plunder which ostensibly caused a halt in the advancement of Africa as a global contender and resulted in an apparent lack of comparable education for the surviving local populace; this is still all too obvious across the African continent. Second, it is largely the actions of the developed nations which brought about the climate change which is now having a profound effect on the African continent. My presentation will focus on the outcomes from NoRCEL’s recent Blue Earth Project (BEP2022) interactive event which illustrates the relevance of the need for a more improved level of climate change education in Africa.
