The SADC Climate Assembly in Durban was a whirlwind of urgent discussions about climate change’s harsh grip on Southern Africa. Delegates from many nations shared heartbreaking stories of drought, energy crises, and how these problems hurt women and girls most. They brainstormed exciting solutions like special money for girls’ education, new jobs for young people in green energy, and smart tech to fight disasters. Even with big challenges, the assembly ended with a clear plan, hoping their decisions would grow into real change, much like the special seedpaper reports they sent home.
