The East African Community (EAC) countries have been challenged to increase factories that produce environmental-friendly products and absorb carbon in an attempt to attain Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) which seek to protect humans, plants, and livestock from the adverse effects of climate change. The appeal was made by the director of the Institute for Climate and Environmental Studies at the Aga Khan University (AKU), Arusha Campus, Dr Emmanuel Sulle who was speaking to journalists about environmental conversation. Dr Sulle said communities living in northern Tanzania are affected by climate change due to drought, pushing the institution to increase efforts in environmental conservation. The institution collaborates with the communities to acquire indigenous knowledge on environmental conservation. "If we decide to increase industries, we must ensure they produce environmentally friendly products. Such environmental conservation efforts should also involve lower-level students for them to become ambassadors for real change," he said.
