The Spin
Narrative A
Rising global temperatures at the hands of human-caused climate change have forever changed the environmental landscape of Africa. As these impacts intensify, particularly in areas of the global south, southern Africa faces a future of increased suffering exacerbated by longstanding inequalities. These systemic injustices will likely only worsen, leaving the impoverished with few resources to cope or become resilient to the grim realities of climate change.
Narrative B
While the African continent has contributed very little to the climate crisis they have stepped up to once again to lead innovation for humanity. African nations are working together to build transparency and partnerships that will drive climate-friendly projects aimed at both developing the nations economically and also by doing it sustainably. The future looks bright — and green — for the continent even in the face of climate threats.
