My name is Mpumelelo Mhlalisi. I'm from Capetown in South Africa from an organisation called Earthlife Africa and also part of the Environmental Justice Networking Forum – the energy task team. What I feel about the issue of climate change is the fact that until now this issue has mostly been discussed by the elites and the converted. People who know about it. And there has been less or little discussion with the people on the ground that is the grassroots people. People who are directly affected by the consequences of the issue of climate change. This issue of climate change directly affects the poor in terms of access to water, access to food, access to work. Because of climate change people are not able to have food, grow their own food, and harvest their own food at the time they used to get their food from. Because of climate change there's less rain and more winter. But ordinary people don't understand that this is the impact of climate change. You get the situation where the people who are the biggest polluter in this world are the people who have access to resources like energy, food, water, transport and all these basic necessities for human life. But the consequences of the whole issue of climate change affects directly the poorest of the poor. Those are the imbalances and the dynamics that we encounter because of the issue of climate change.
