Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The KwaZulu-Natal government has officially launched its citizen education drive to raise awareness on climate change in the province.<\/p>\n

The campaign will focus on ideas to curb weather-related disasters in the province.<\/p>\n

In recent years, hundreds of people have lost their lives as a result of weather-related disasters in KZN alone.<\/p>\n

For years, KwaZulu-Natal has experienced devastating floods as a result of heavy rains.<\/p>\n

This has damaged public infrastructure, including roads, bridges, schools, and people\u2019s homes, amounting to billions of rands in damage costs.<\/p>\n

Since 2020, over 500 lives have been lost in severe weather disasters, with more than 400 people killed in the 2022 floods.<\/p>\n

Local and provincial government officials convened the Climate Change Council meeting, which coincided with the launch of the climate change citizen education drive.<\/p>\n

Authorities are hoping an education drive will help prepare KZN residents to avoid fatal incidents in the future.<\/p>\n
