Lotto Environmental Justice Programme

Young voices on Climate Change II

Sizwe on his way to paris.jpg

In our last post we included, as part of our Lotto Environmental Justice Programme we carried articles from two of the interns on the project Abonga and Sizwe, and three of their friends Xolisa, Loyiso and Lonwabo, who are participating in the Climate Tracker: Path to Paris Programme. These short pieces focused on aspects of Climate Change that interest them and count towards helping them get to Paris for the COP21. The great news is that Sizwe is in Paris as this is being posed! Congratulations Sizwe! Here is a picture of him at the airport with his friends saying Bon Voyage! 


To keep the Environmental Justice Flag flying in South Africa while Sizwe is away Abonga, Xolisa, Loyiso and Lonwabo have written more excellent articles which you can read below.
