Mozambique, between cyclones and drought: we Fight climate change by building schools

the ROME - While contributing for only 5% of the emissions, Africa is the continent that pays the highest price of climate change. Only in 2019, floods, drought and famine have generated 2.5 million refugees that are going to add to that part of the population (over 7.6 million) that had to abandon their home due to conflict.

Mozambique. , Mozambique in the past few months has faced a wave of extreme drought which has helped to decrease the food reserves of the country. According to the data of Reliefweb in November 2019 were about 65 thousand children under 5 years suffering from acute malnutrition. But 2019 is also the year in which the country has had to cope with two cyclones devastating: the storm is Idai who has impressed in the centre-east and the hurricane Kenneth in the northern parts of the country.
Mozambique, so the population survives to climate change
testimony . Alessandro Galimberti, supervisor Meetings, on climate change, which has lived seven years in Mozambique, trying to find solutions to the challenges imposed by the consequences of global pollution in the area. "In order to combat climate change, we should build more schools". A small provocation that hides a method based on capillarity. "The interventions one-dimensional – continuous Galimberti – often leave the time they find. You need to create a real environmental culture based on good practices".

The weather events that have afflicted the country are only one of the plagues that are leading to a constant impoverishment of the population. Another serious problem is that of deforestation. It is estimated that 41% is due to agriculture and the itinerant small-and medium-farmers. The latter, lacking the tools and knowledge to reinvigorate the lands used for cultivation, burning forests to make space for new crops. Another cause of the regress of the world's forests is commercial exploitation illegal.

Here the issue from the environment becomes a political and economic level. In the country, especially in the poorest and most instruct the company, in the climate change debate is more than ever alive. There are laws (such as that of planting a tree whenever you cut one), which aim to protect the environment and the territory, but there are also dynamics that are widespread in a great part of the continent that lead the authorities to turn a blind eye if you commit the offence are large foreign companies, especially chinese, increasingly influential in the african continent.

“it Is necessary to - continue Galimberti - build infrastructure and manutenerle. Instill in new generations the sensitivity to these issues and act in a capillary manner. It is a challenge especially for the poorest sectors of the population, because quoting Pascal Bruckner ‘environmentalism is a luxury for the western rich’”.

The commitment of Avsi . And just aiming at a horizontal action, Avsi is present in the provinces of Maputo, Cabo Delgado and Zambezia, with 15 initiatives in the field of education and vocational training, but also working in the suburbs, with urban development projects. One of the good practices is the distribution of stove improved with a lower environmental impact to reduce the emissions, but also to give life to the local entrepreneurship.
