'Use your voice' and 3 other things you can do about the climate crisis | Business

This is a critical decade for us to take action to limit the extreme impacts of climate change and ensure a sustainable future for all.

This was echoed by climate scientist and co-author of the IPCC's sixth assessment cycle report Dr Chris Trisos at News24's On The Record event in Cape Town this past week. Melithafa's family has felt the impact of the crisis directly. Her mother's small-scale farm was affected by Cape Town's Day Zero drought. She recalled her livestock and crops were lost."It was very painful to watch. My mum does not only provide for us as the family, but she provides for the community as well.

"Seek more information on climate change to add your voices. There is a lot of policies being released …" said Melithafa. The Presidential Climate Commission also holds consultations on issues like the just energy transition, which the public should be participating in. "We are very concerned with the extent of illegal dumping in our country, and also environmental pollution, particularly the leaching of plastics from the environment into the sea," Creecy told News24 previously.
