The Turn Down the Heat report series, prepared for the Word Bank by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Climate Analytics, provides snapshots of the latest climate science. The three reports warn that without concerted action, temperatures are on pace to rise to 4°C above pre-industrial times by the end of this century. The first report (2012), looks at the risks of a world 4°C or even 2°C warmer. The second (2013) examines the impact on Africa, South Asia, and South East Asia.
Raise your Voice, NOT the sea level!
In line with this years theme, we at RCE-Pwani decided to mark this special day by planting trees of different variety at our Botanical Garden. Different people with different age groups were involved. Am happy to say that the event was not only a success but also a positive step towards climate change mitigation. Thank you!
