Youths have a burst of energy and ideas that if rightfully tabbed can help mitigate climate variability in our community.
Community based adaptation is a way that enables community members to adjust to impacts of climate change in the community.
These can be in form of agribusiness activities or attitude change towards climate change influencers.
Some of the activities youths can be involved in include trout and fish farming, this will supply this resource that is on demand in developing nations.
The other is alternative energy sources like bio-gas, solar panel installations and briquette making.
This way, forest cover will be protected or even better improved.
More than 80% of urban dwellers depend on charcoal as a source of energy, this demand has seen indigenous trees being destroyed and land being left bare thus, destroying important carbon sequesters and sinks.
The demand for agricultural foods and clearing of wetlands and forest resources to create space for farming, can be taken care of by greenhouse projects.
A greenhouse maximizes spaces and plants mature fast and youths can start gaining profits within a short period of time.
Other forms of farming like chicken farming and other little known projects like; hare farming, bee keeping and other middle east delicious like snails is picking up in the 3rd world, these projects enables soils to regain their fertility as the youths indulge themselves in other activities.
The list is long, but another benefit of engaging youths in CBA activities include reduced drug abuse, reduced criminal activities and economic gains.
Lets us empower the communities to adapt to smart practices.
Time has come for governments, stakeholders and other relevant organizations to empower youths to make right decision that concern our environment other than being used as people who can only provided secondment to already boardroom agreements and negotiations.
This universe belongs to us all and we should ensure that we leave it better for tomorrow's generations.
If leaders are involved in land grabbing, forest destruction, wetland draining and corrupt way of killing endangered wildlife for trophies, then it is time for youths to peaceful force the government to come up with stringent regulations that will recognize that greed will not work for the good of the communities but benefit a few as we lead the globe into climate change slope that will eventually affect all of us.
If we fail to adopt to community based adaptation standards, then we shall always experience floods, prolonged droughts, diseases, resistant pests and food insecurity.
Time to practice environmentally friendly activities is now since the best time was yesterday.
The pain is failure to utilize the educated youths who are energetic and greatest enemy to natural resources to feed their young families and meet their own basic needs.
