Minimizing Climate Change in Cameroon - A Case Study of Rising Hope Foundation for Change

Abstract

Human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation contribute to the proliferation of greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Researcher are of the opinion that the primary cause of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, which emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere-primarily carbon dioxide. Climate change can only be addressed if actors from all parts of society - governments, businesses, Non-Governmental Organisations and consumers make a global and broad shift towards sustainable consumption and production patterns. Rising Hope Foundation for Change has participated in various national and international seminars, conferences and projects to guide against climate change and it has translated the knowledge acquired through her humanitarian and environmental friendly projects in schools; orphanages and communities in Cameroon and Africa in general.
