Maseru, Feb. 13 — The Lesotho Chapter of Media Institute of Southern Africa is on this day (February 13th) commemorating the World Radio Day under the 2025 theme being: “Radio and Climate Change”
The topic lies solely on the fact that there is a dearth of dialogue on climate change, there is a need to unpack its effects on open platforms, which in turn would receive national conceptual appreciation. There are little to no national forums, seminars and conferences organized to confer on the effects of climate change so that there is buy-in from members of the public.
According to National Director of MISA Mr Lekhetho Makhanya Ntsukunyane, MISA Lesotho has, noticed regular coverage on climate change in some of the local media houses, there are also other positive developments regarding Climate Change coverage, Climate and the Environment demystifying and regular programming on Climate Action in the newsrooms. He credited some of the media houses for an excellent job regarding this matter and urged that there is still more to be done,as the citizens particularly at community level, have little knowledge and education about climate change, which is often a mystified phenomenon in boardroom meetings.
He explained that there is a need for national forums, seminars and also conferences organised to discuss in depth the effects of climate change so that members of the public can partake in this matter.. .
