This call was made recently by Hon Izunwa in a press statement he issued about the state of climate change in the Umuaka locality and environs.<\/p>\n<p>While discussing with Umuaka Times late last week, Hon Izunwa painted a graphic picture of the damage climate change will do to our environment if nothing is done to educate students about it. \u00a0He cited the case of the road construction going on from Owerri to Orlu. According to his findings, there is a big climatic danger even in Imo State. &#8220;As I speak, the entire Afor Umuaka is now covered by thick smog following a road construction trans-versing from\u00a0 Owerri to Orlu.\u00a0\u00a0 The government&#8217;s intention in doing this road is wonderful but the thick smog can shorten ones lifespan. Our environment has continued to be polluted because the government has done little or nothing about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hon Izunwa regretted that in the entire African continent, many countries are unaware of the climate change effects and are treating the issue with a kid glove. On this flaw, he went on to strengthen his advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will truly be a good idea if climate change is included in our children academic calendar,from primary school to even university level.In Africa,a substantial number of the population is unaware of the danger of climate change. More than eight five percent of Africans thought climate change is a joke.\u00a0 Even African leaders of today are taking the issue of climate change with kids gloves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6783\" src=\"http:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4.png 604w, https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-300x197.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the panacea towards the climate change global challenge, Hon Izunwa\u00a0 appealed to the authorities in Nigeria and Africa to immediately incorporate climate change challenge into academic calendar of all the primary, secondary and post secondary schools across the continent. &#8220;If we must tackle climate change, a child of five years must understand the implications of climate change and only place to exhibit that is in the classroom. They must understand the implications of deforestation and the need to plant trees for future generations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The honourable member ended his gospel of climate change interventions by saying strongly, &#8220;Government must start from the scratch if we must fight climate change here in Africa to a standstill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>268 ViewsThe honourable member representing Umuaka Ward 1in Njaba LGA has called for the
