About Us

“We have hardly done anything to address climate change or improve the lives of people in the developing world; we have to get to work.” – Bill Nye

Africa Boy Child Foundation Climate Change Forum

South Africa is facing major challenges in climate change. How then must the people and the country brace itself for the impact.

It is reported that on average annual temperatures have increased substantially. Climate change is real . in south Africa we recently experienced the floods in KZN which were accompanied by destruction of lives.

We have to reverse this.

The ABC Climate foundation is working with youth and young adults to teach on the impact of climate change.

Vision

TO BE THE BEST TEACHING FOUNDATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Mission

WE WILL ACCOMPLISH OUR GOAL THROUGH FACE-TO-FACE TEACHINGS AND ON LINE TEACHINGS

Why is it important to teach on climate change

The South African Experience

The recent floods in KZN have increased the urgent necessity for South Africans to be aware of the dangers of Climate Change. Whilst overseas countries have suffered much more severe experiences of global warming, we are also not immune from this problem

The Global Experience

All over the world devastation is happening. The recent three most consequential disasters of 2022 showed the consequences of climate change. From the Florida’s Hurricane Ian, to the summer drought and heat waves in Europe, and eventually monsoon flooding in Pakistan

Solutions

  • We must aim for zero emissions
  • Fossils are the biggest culprits. Developed countries being the worst culprits.
  • Every individual has a role to play in the preservation of the planet.
  • We need to teach the youth on how to protect the environment.
