Arusha. For many Tanzanians, the term
‘climate change’ may not be very clear to many people. To some, the terminology
could as well mean change of climate or variability of weather patterns, which
is not surprising.
The
semantics may not help to define it scientifically, but the “change from the
norm” could well explain it. Experts agree that climate change is already
affecting livelihoods, creating many challenges and some opportunities for
change!
The
phenomenon itself is relatively new, having entered the global picture in the
late 1980s following alarming climate-induced patterns. Like in many African
countries, climate change in Tanzania has been much more associated with severe
droughts than floods.
