Here in the slope of Mount Cameroon, Zesty Youths For Social and Economic Empowerment in collaboration with other artists to integrate arts in our approach towards climate change fight.

    A topic worth listening to. The impact of climate change, more especially to its unpredictable patterns with far-reaching effects, affect us more than the matter is worth discussing in our comfort zone as casual observers. More should be done. The global business community must walk the walk in addressing this issue. There is a lot of harmful radiation in nations with mining; the air breathed there is polluted and subsequently not healthy for humans. The effect of fumes can be dramatically minimised if the global business community decides today and now to act proactively and responsibly. To act proactively must be understood as taking strict possible measures to prevent this scourge of global warming from worsening further. It starts with each of us by controlling our greed. We want to live; yes, this is the inarguable reality. The animals also want the place of their survival in the same world. The plants are no exception. As humans who are blessed with being normal rather than instinctive, we CAN and MUST do something. Today and now. The arts: the arts must not just be treated as just an entertaining voice. The arts set the tone with the truest quest to be paid attention to in different ways such as the films in Hollywood, Nollywood, and Bollywood, the books, the music, the painting works, the sports, etc. It's about time our various artistic voices are paid attention to beyond the scope of their being referred to as just entertainment. The element carried within is a serious message. The climate-change problems we have in common have a cure if we are not shy of the solution we seek, or simply if we ever honestly seek the solution in the first place. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the participants for their heartwarming inputs. What a poem! I am more than inspired. I am humbled in my humility as one of the many victims of the worsening climate change and the giant ghost of global warming it goes with. I live in South Africa where breathing clean air is a daily battle.

    Candidly, the convocation we had regarding the topic, "reimagining the future" was tremendous as it gave us insight on some measures that can be deployed to curb climate change. Such convocations are needed in underdeveloped, developing and even developed countries. After all, does the sea despise rain?

    Heat vulnerability, which is increased in formerly neighbor hoods, because of lesser investment in trees🌴🌴🌴
