The impacts of social media in combating Climate Change

The Climate Change Phenomenon is indeed a big challenge globally and concerted efforts must be geared towards reducing our vulnerability as a people and as a continent. The situation is even further compounded by the fact that in most countries, climate change remains a marginal issue to the pressing issue of food availability and security, political crises, poverty, natural resource management, energy access and social infrastructure. 

Many people, organizations, etc. are working to control Climate Change. But some of them confused and unaware of how to start the Climate Change Campaign that can reach millions of people globally within the shortest time possible.

Media is the best tool for Climate Change Campaign in every aspect. Electron media, Print media, Social Media, etc. These are now trending for a campaign and obviously, it can more effective to a change. People habitually utilize that type of source to collect some news and inspiration from them.

As more people around the world gain regular access to the Internet, online and social media are becoming significant contexts in which they come into contact with. Social media like #Facebook, #Twitter, #Instagram, #Pinterest, #LinkedIn etc currently constitute a completely reasonable source for any campaign throughout the world. 

We have seen where social media is a powerful tool for communication. Although social media is simply a tool, it's up to all of us to make a change, social media can be used to educate and sensitize, which in turn may influence our actions and the steps we take towards climate change actions.

The matter of climate change will require real time and constant communication. It will require a communication space that is far-reaching and can facilitate discussion and mobilization. We should move quickly to leverage the power and reach of social media to positively influence modifications in behavior, to thwart or mitigate the effects of climate change, therefore causing desired behaviors.

But in order to adjust our #ClimateAction campaigns, there is need for urgent collaboration with all organizations like #UNFCC , #WorldBank, #UNEnvironment ,#UNDP, #SocialMedia networks/companies and all other partners for the same cause, engagement and support , This will enable #ClimageChangeCampaigners globally to spread #ClimateActions gospel faster than it could before it gets too late.

Social Media networks must play a big role in saving our globe and indeed saving their businesses, they should support and promote all our #ClimateAction campaigns at a zero rate, this will enable us reach to a bigger audience thus reaching to millions of people globally within the shortest time it deserves.

It's time to get our act together and do something that will save our planet from global environmental disaster. Saving our environment from environmental issues means ensuring wellbeing for our future generations and giving them chance to enjoy in many beauties this planet has to offer instead of crying at the broking legacy that was left to them by their irresponsible and selfish ancestors.

Leaders across the continent must recognize a common set of interests in promoting global #ClimateAction campaigns that will mitigate the human behaviors contributing to climate change and allow the continent to adapt to the effects which are already being felt.


The most important idea to remember is that saving the planet can start right now, this is the moment where we need to decide, If we all do as much as we can, then collectively we'll make a big difference. When we put it all together, these are minor changes with big effects, Let us get serious about climate change #SocialMediaClimateChangeCampaigns #ClimateChangeAction #GlobalAssignment
