    I was so stoked to see Vanessa pop up in my daily show feed. I have been following her for a while and she is so brilliant and she gives me so much hope. I used to be more engaged in the climate conversation when I was younger but felt super discouraged and ridiculed by society. Now with Vanessa and the other youth who are engaging the world again, I feel there is a momentum, a reason for hope for real change. More power to you Vanessa!

      I am not surprised at all. Africa is home to many many people who are intelligent and well-spoken. The problem is, when they are not on camera, most of them devolve into incoherent gibberish and making bad choices, because they want to *fit in* with their tribe. And THAT - the negative part - is what much of Mainstream Media focuses on.

    I was just about to ask about this for a while. What happens with developing countries who's Main source of income is that of oil or coal? Take Trinidad for example. I know for a fact that oil is there main natural resource I feel like in those cases what they need to do is yes give them a grant to help them transition to more renewable energy but also find another source of income like your tourism or here in Jamaica your food. you grow your food and the food itself is a renewable resource. But if the climate change is going on that would affect it majorly such as drought or even hurricane just destroy the crops. It's a complicated issue but I think something along those lines along with the grants would help as well

    As African nations develop, they will continue to use more fossil fuels so they cannot and should not be ignored. It's going to be difficult to tell the people of these nations to move away from fossil fuels without any meaningful alternative available to them. They see how fossil fuels have transformed other countries and naturally will want to replicate that success. The only solution is to make alternatives like solar more practical and feasible.

    • @Lucian_Media
      @Lucian_Media Před 2 lety

      Well said. It's almost unfair how developing countries are now expected to change practices that other nations used to become super powers. After they have used, abused and taken wealth from countries like Uganda, they now expect these countries to walk the straight and narrow and bear the brunt of the cost of climate change adaptation.

    Let's put solar panels on every home, business and covered parking rooftop and switch to electric vehicles making nearly everything we do solar powered while completely decentralizing our power supply and empowering everyone as power generation owners.
    Solar power is CHEAPER and electric vehicles are soon to be CHEAPER to make and already are considerably CHEAPER to maintain and operate, especially if charged from your own solar power.
    A 3-5 year ROI (return on investment) for a solar array that will generate power for decades is a no-brainer and the panels can even be made locally too.

    Sadly Africa won't be at the center, because what will be are false promises made by industrial lobbies who claim to protect jobs and interests, so change must happen, according to them, without costing them. And countries can't lose competitive edge, so only will change, when others change more.
    All big companies have know for a long time, lied about it and must accept the consequences; entrepreneurial risk should mean, the worst offenders should be out of business and all funding go to green activists and start ups!
    Because we only win, when everybody wins! Africa only can be helped when we think globally and glocally.
