Cleanbuild.africa launches call for Climate Action Volunteers

The term ‘climate change’ has been recurring for more than a decade, but now we all are feeling the effects, some more than others. Although we read and hear about the effect of climate change and how it is affecting countries on a global scale, what some still fail to realize is that everyone is affected somehow.

Climate change plays out differently from one country to the other. Yet, more and more people are becoming vulnerable to the effects in diverse ways – ranging from increased temperature, wildfires, food shortages, water scarcity, hurricanes, extreme weather conditions, and many other destructive natural phenomena.

All of these climate-related disasters underscore the need for urgent collaborative actions and it is precisely what Cleanbuild.africa’s upcoming Climate Action Stakeholders Forum aims to explore. The event will assemble over 300 including cleantech startups and advocates, stakeholders, policymakers, investors across all climate verticals.
