President of Concerned Citizens for Save Atiwa, Hon. Oteng Agyei has said that climate change is a threat to our natural world.

According to Hon. Oteng, in an interview on Radio 1’s ‘Our Land Our Future’ program he said that climate change is gradually becoming a threat to the natural world due to our own activities.

“We are the one causing the change, cutting down trees, mining, galamsey, these are the cause of climate change and it is becoming a treat to us and the natural world and until we stop we are in danger,” he said.

Touching on the Atewa Forest which he thinks giving us a breathing space to save the part of our natural world, he said that mining in the forest will cost us.

“There enough damage on the natural world and that is why we should save the Atewa Forest,” he stated.

However, Climate change has become the biggest threat to UN-listed natural world heritage sites like glaciers and wetlands.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) revealed that in all, 94 of the sites are facing significant or critical risk from a wide range of factors, including tourism, hunting, fire, and water pollution marking an increase from the 62 listed in the previous study published in 2017.
