Did You Know That The Congo Rainforest Provides Clean Air To The Planet?
And this is why we need to save it before it’s too late
Climate injustice and racial injustice are closely related. In the case of climate injustice, people in the Global North, mainly white people, consume. By this, I mean they eat meat, drive to most places, buy fast fashion, and the like. This behavior leads to high carbon emissions which lead to global warming. The reality though, is that global warming most significantly affects countries in the Global South where a lot of Black and brown people live. Floods and droughts put their lives in danger and they are no longer able to grow their own food — which then leads to starvation and poverty.
Today I interviewed Guillaume Kalongi, a renowned Climate Activist in the Democratic Republic of Congo in West, Central Africa. He provides deep insights about how global warming is affecting his country and the world and why we need billions of climate activists!
