Climate change will hollow out any economic, social and political progress we need to make as a country. We know the risks. Our scientists have developed the models and the predictions for the next five, 10, 20 and even 50 years. Activists have warned of further inequality as people struggle to rebuild their lives after what now seems to be almost annual extreme weather events.

While a TVET college is located in the West Coast municipality, there is no course in conservation management, in sustainable fishing and maritime practice, or sustainable infrastructure building programmes, which help municipalities and residents to withstand a tornado, a drought or a flood. There is a disconnect between public TVET courses and the needs of a local municipality.

Perhaps most crucially, campus should expand to rural areas so that young people have greater post-schooling options where they live. This may help stave the youth brain drain to urban centres and ensure local skills are developed for local industries by a local public TVET college.
