    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to support this Motion. I support this Motion simply because the issue of climate change cuts across our coalitions. Climate change affects everyone in this country and in this world. Looking at the objectives of this Policy, they are clear. One of the things we have not done as a country is seriously looking into the issue of climate change. If it is possible, I would suggest that the issue of climate change be put in our curriculum. Our children need to seriously look at this issue in school to understand the impact that climate change has for us in this country. Climate change affects people across genders. I am very keen to look at how this Policy looks at the issue of women and climate change. We all know that if there is flood or anything that happens, women and children play a very important role in terms of those calamities. Women and children are usually the first casualties of climate change. They are the first to be rescued. They are the first to be transported to safer grounds. You have seen areas in this country that are so dry; that our children, especially our young girls, miss opportunities to attend their schooling because they are looking for water. Our children in schools walk long distances. Where I come from is also an area that is usually very dry. We used to think as a country that climate change affects people in arid and semi-arid areas but the issue of flooding or drought affects everybody in this country.
