Thank you our Minister of State in the Vice President's Office (Union and Environment) and Our President Samia Suluhu Hassan. Minister of State in the Vice President's Office (Union and Environment), Seleman Jafo instructed all students countrywide, each to plant a tree, manage and take full responsibility to help confront the effects of climate change. Mr Jafo gave the directives during his visit in Tanga to inspect and promote various environmental conservation activities. The minister said the government's intention is to plant a total of 1.5 million trees per each council, an equivalent of 276 million trees in all the 139 councils. "If every student strives to plant a tree, kindergarten, primary and secondary student's plant one tree and manage it for the whole year, this will be our savior in facing these environmental challenges," the Minister said. In addition the minister said the level of deforestation has resulted in partial rains and rising temperatures. He said cases of death of animals as a result of drought are increasing. Mr. Jafo stressed the importance of training school children in the culture of tree planting in order to have a generation that loves and watches over their environment. Also President Samia Suluhu Hassan spoke about the impacts of climate change on a global scale. “The challenges of climate change are affecting food security, livelihoods, and income of our people. Tanzania's government spends 2 to 3 percent of GDP to mitigate and build the resilience of communities, and this is a lot in a country that is still fighting against poverty coupled with the emergency of the COVID19 pandemic. The pandemic has compromised the capacity to respond to the harmful impact of climate change. Therefore, our actions today determine the future of our planet in terms of climate change” She said So environmental justice is about developing a system to ensure that human beings and ecosystems are treated fairly in ways that will reduce climate change and other environmental challenges. https://allafrica.com/stories/202201170863.html https://www.tnrf.org/en/content/tanzania%E2%80%99s-president-hon-samia-suluhu-calls-climate-change-actions-un-summit
