QUESTION:
Climate change will impact many different sectors, ecosystems around the world. Some people will win more than others and the costs of climate change are not equally distributed around the world. Those who contributed the most to climate change, may not necessarily be the ones who will be most adversely affected.
Your choice of essay is MASAI (KENYA) CATTLE FARMER, google online (some links are posted below) and discuss how MASAI (KENYA) CATTLE FARMER will be affected by climate change. Think outside the box, think about linkages that may not necessarily seem obvious. Please discuss on the online forum your thoughts. I would also appreciate any comments on the 2 clips that I asked you to watch.
