Climate voices

During COP27, the UN Climate Change Conference, we introduced some of the changemakers in our communities – who are raising their voices on climate change from the frontlines.

With the impacts of climate change - including more frequent and severe flooding and drought - felt increasingly around the world, we spoke to some of our audiences about what they are experiencing, and their hopes for the future. 

Indonesia

β€œIt’s not just our voices, we are taking action,” says Muhammad Andi. β€œI am part of the change, and so are you, you are part of the change.”

Muhammad is part of the Kalimantan Green Warriors youth group in Indonesia which is working to create awareness on environmental issues among young people - including awareness on the importance of the country's peatlands and humanitarian support to flood victims.

Our social media brand, , engages young people through Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook; we also reach and engage more audiences through our work on TV, radio, and voice-based mobile phone services. Find out more about our climate project here.

Nepal

β€œClimate change is affecting our lives to a great extent. Intense rains are destroying crops in the villages.” Barsha Thebe describes how climate change is affecting lives and livelihoods in Nepal.

 

β€œBy using electric vehicles in cities, dust and smoke can be reduced. This will protect our lungs and hearts, and people will be healthier.”

Zanzibar

Adil Muhammed Ally told our Niambie! (Let's Talk) radio show team in Tanzania how his house was destroyed in flooding.

β€œI built a house and one day it rained very heavily…my roof was completely blown off and water flooded into my house… there needs to be a common strength between our governments in Africa and the world at large. Let them have one voice to fight this issue of climate change.”
