Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>ENVIRONMENTAL activist Rex Brown has expressed disappointment at the absence of a climate action presentation from panellists at Sibaya.<\/b><\/p>\n

The seasoned activist said itwas disappointing to not hear any submission on the climate crisis because positive climate action was linked to developmental progress. \u201cThis is despite those speakers talking about more jobs,more investments and more development,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Reseachers<\/p>\n

Last week,The Conversation, an online source of thought-provoking articles written by researchers and academics, across all disciplines, revealed that Eswatini and neighbouring countries, South Africa and Lesotho\u2019s climate zones are the fastest changing countries in the Southern Hemisphere. Climate zones are regions with similar patterns of temperature and precipitation, and the article explains how the climate zones are shifting, expanding, shrinking, or disappearing due to global warming, elucidating on how these changes are already upending natural ecosystems and subsequently forcing significant change to farms and infrastructure as climate change progresses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe countries\u2019 climate zones have shifted across 28 per cent of their combined area,\u201d reads a part of the article, adding that \u201cwarmer and drier climates bringmore drought aswell as crop loss, water shortages, ecosystem degradation, bushfires and desertification.\u201d The article also highlights that some changesmay be beneficial for people, even though the overall picture is one of calamitous change. \u201cItmay lead to better agricultural conditions or lower heating costs in cold regions,\u201d the article emphasises. Responding to this,Brown said the findingswere quite interesting considering some of the climate zones that are present in the country, such as the tropical wet and dry zone (Aw) and the semiarid zone (BSh).<\/p>\n

Expected<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the story, these zones are expected to become hotter and drier in the future, which could pose challenges for Eswatini’s agriculture and water sectors,\u201d saidBrown, stating that some regions may experience more extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods and storms, which could affect the country\u2019sdevelopment andresilience.<\/p>\n
