An Irish aid worker living in Malawi has said that climate change is posing an “existential threat” that could leave parts of the country uninhabitable if temperatures keep rising.
Over four million people are food insecure in Malawi according to its government, and depending on the harvest yield in the next few months, this could double to eight million. Conor Kelly, Trocaire Malawi’s programme manager, at the Department of Disaster Management Affairs offices in Capital Hill. She said that her maize crop yield last year was “a bit off”, but this year it is expected to be much worse.
Malita Mussa and her thirteen-year-old twins Patrick and Patricia who appear on this year’s Trocaire box “I am encouraging the farmers in Ireland to adapt to the new practices so that they all fight together in reducing climate change.” They have also encouraged communities to plant trees and not cut them down for fuel, with the aim of anchoring the soil.
