Climate Change and Green Innovation

We have one planet and we need to take care of it. The changes in climate patterns are impacting our lives. We’ve seen how droughts in different parts of the world have led to famine or soaring food prices. As we prepare for international conferences such as Rio+20, the sessions offered under this theme will give you an opportunity to:

  • discuss various climate change challenges and influence the messages which will be presented at different climate change  international conferences
  • learn how different  parts of the world have embraced innovative recycling methods and creating new employment opportunities
  • learn about environmental friendly farming methods and climate smart agriculture
  • acquaint yourself with indigenous traditions to predict climate patterns
