In this series, from UN Human Rights Regional Office, Southern Africa (OHCHR ROSA): we hear from young environmental human rights defenders who took park in a project co-sponsored by UNICEF South Africa, OHCHR ROSA, along with EPA Images and Maverick Citizenn to take look at climate change, climate action and climate justice through the eyes of involved young people. The result was The Green Rising: Through a Fresh Lens, a book and exhibition of photos taken by 12 young environmental rights defenders articulating what climate change and the environmental crisis means to them through photos. The participants were selected from across South Africa and were all either involved in climate and environmental projects or had a photographic background. The photos show various views of the same issue -- unless we do something, we may lose what we have.
Episode three: Mamkhabela Mthembu
A law student at the University of Pretoria, Mamkhabela never imaged herself a photographer, but now sees it as one more tool in her climate activism arsenal. Her photo series "Plastic in our homes: Mother nature reincarnated" shows the juxtaposition of our creation of perfect plastic greenery inside our homes, versus the plastic clogging the real greenery outside. She is in conversation with Kaylois Henry from UN Human Rights.
