What is climate change, how does it affect us, what career paths can students pursue in this field and where will they work? These were the focus of the Africa Climate Collaborative (@ACCollab_UG) session.
Students learned about the Green Economy which is helping to create wealth while reducing waste and had the opportunity share their ideas and ask questions.
