The presentation is made before a group of young people who have some knowledge of climate change but do not think that they have any role to play in reducing its effect. They are of the view that it’s the government to deal with climate change issues. The presentation aims to show them that they too can contribute in their own way without having to spend as much while going about their daily routine.

2. WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE ?
• Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather
patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e.,
decades to millions of years). Climate change may refer to a change
in average weather conditions, or in the time variation of weather
around longer-term average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme
weather events)
