Abstract
Sub-Saharan countries are among the vulnerable countries that encounter the impact of anthropogenic climate change. This article aimed to analyse the climate change threats that sub-Saharan countries are facing, such as the burning of fossil fuel, deforestation, desertification and floods. Therefore, the authors recommend conserving and restoring nature on an ethical basis for the preservation of future generation. Ethical virtues such as justice and equity will be considered in order to eradicate the problem. Thus the collaboration of all people is required.
Highlights
Today, climate change in sub-Saharan Africa remains a big threat
Climate change is the result of human activities, the burning of fossil fuel and the clearing of forests (Arnold 2011:1)
To address the issue of climate change (Odeku & Meyer 2010): South Africa has establishing new focal points within government, developing partnerships with other governments or the private sector, or launching pilot projects, have contributed immensely to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in South Africa; the government is persistent in its quest to continue in this direction in the near future
Summary
Climate change in sub-Saharan Africa remains a big threat. Climate change is the result of human activities, the burning of fossil fuel and the clearing of forests (Arnold 2011:1). To address the issue of climate change (Odeku & Meyer 2010): South Africa has establishing new focal points within government, developing partnerships with other governments or the private sector, or launching pilot projects, have contributed immensely to reducing GHG emissions in South Africa; the government is persistent in its quest to continue in this direction in the near future This is achieved by putting in place more stringent policies or by implementing new adaptation and mitigation measures. It is relevant to build networks with indigenous people at the local level who can contribute knowledge that will build adaptive capacity (Peach Brown et al 2014:759) In this regard, the researchers have a different point of view, truly REDD has found mechanisms to conserve the forest in the Congo Basin, the situation is critical even worse in the DR Congo because of political context. There is no other pathway to success (Hale 2010:273)
