Η Σφαιρική Αναζήτηση για Εκπαίδευση is pleased to welcome Climate Activist Levy Nyirenda from Zambia.
Levy, why did you select Susan Chomba to interview? What inspired you about her?
Susan was named one of Global Landscape Forum’s 16 women restoring the earth in 2021 and she is also a distinguished global ambassador for the Race to Zero under the UN’s Champions for Climate Action. I was specifically inspired by Susan’s experience in forest landscape restoration works and the contributions her work is making towards the transformation of sustainable food systems.
What surprised you most about your interview?
I learned new information about greenhouse gases and the role that Africa plays. Africa accounts for the smallest share of global greenhouse gas emissions (μόλις 3.8%, in contrast to 23% στην Κίνα, 19% στις Η.Π.Α, και 13% in the European Union). However our economy is particularly vulnerable to climate change and we need to tackle the issues caused by it now. My conversation with Susan helped me to better understand the climate challenges we are facing globally.
Ποια είναι τα 3 main takeaways for the Net Zero audience from your interview?
Μου 3 main takeaways from this interview are firstly that technology is playing an important role in helping to restore the environment in the forestation and restoration works.
Susan stresses that the important question we must ask ourselves and understand before we work on positive change is “WHY”? Why are we working to restore the ecosystem?
Τελικά, restoring forests calls for proper management and long term maintenance of the newly planted trees. We cannot just plant trees and then forget about them.
Thank you Levy!
C. M. Rubin and Levy Nyirenda
