Dr. Abias Maniragaba preceded by explaining more about Climate Change and Adaptation Strategies. later, the RCCDN Coordinator, Faustin Vuningoma joined in and referred to the fact that ‘We are on our way to making the world hotter in the 21st century than it has been in the last million years.’ Therefore; with that, he raised a concern, “Where are you taking this world? And where are you leaving it at?”
The global average surface temperature projections show that we are heading for a climatical state outside the range of variation of the last 1000 days. This entirely means that Climate Change needs closer attention and collaboration for its better sustainability.
