Call for Climate Justice
We are living in a major climate crisis. While countries in the global south have done the least to contribute to the issue. They risk to bear impacts of climate change. Countries in the global north have not only contributed to exacerbating the climate crisis, but due to the historical legacy of colonialism, have contributed to an extent to the lack of adaptive capacity for countries in the global south who are still battling with provisions of basic needs. These countries in the global South risk being shock absorbers for impacts of climate change in the future. Therefore, climate justice as an underpinning principle for climate action is important to ensure that the smallest contributors to the crisis do not pay the highest price.

Why did you choose this sketch?
The cartoon hinges on the a similar theme to the titanic ship that sank after it hit an iceberg. Rich passengers were transported off into small boats while poor passengers were left to sink in the ship. Similarly, the ship in this cartoon represents the world and the iceberg represents the issue of climate change. Climate change (iceberg) will cause world scale destruction that threatens our entire world (ship). The submerged part of the ship represents the Global South and how poor people from grassroots communities in the Global South will bear impacts of climate change. The part of the ship that is above water represents the Global North and all the multinational corporations in rich countries that are responsible for majority of emissions. While the whole ship sinks (I.e the whole world is affected by climate change), people in the global North are less vulnerable to impacts of climate change. They don’t sink with the ship as they have resources such as boats (I.e this represents historical advantage, strong financial institutions and more resources for developed countries) to protect themselves. While the global south suffers from impacts of climate change, countries in the global north have greater adaptive capacity and resilience to protect themselves. Therefore, in the cartoon, they are able to escape this disaster due advantage over the global South that they have. The message is that the global South contribute the least to climate change and yet they will suffer the most. Countries in the global north emit more but will have more capacity to protect themselves in the advent of climate induced disasters. The global south is suffering from a problem that is not if their own making. Therefore, climate justice must be an underpinning principle to combating climate change to ensure that poor communities in the global south do not become shock absorbers for impacts of climate change in the future

ONE PEOPLE
I am from Uganda. I came to South Africa this year for university and one thing that first stroke me was the way people here group themselves. Black, white, coloured, Boers, name it. I also noticed a bit of tension with the way they relate with each other which was unfamiliar to me coming from a country where this is not that evident. We do not see a colour difference. Everyone is human anyway. This is the kind of future I hope to see first in South Africa and around the world.

I was thinking about how children told that they are useless, pathetic and a mistake and how that impacts us as humans. It causes us to stop living as ourselves. Almost as of you can’t live without being told how to by your favorite influencers.

The part of the ship that is above water represents the Global North and all the multinational corporations in rich countries that are responsible for majority of emissions. While the whole ship sinks (I.e the whole world is affected by climate change), people in the global North are less vulnerable to impacts of climate change. They don’t sink with the ship as they have resources such as boats (I.e this represents historical advantage, strong financial institutions and more resources for developed countries) to protect themselves. While the global south suffers from impacts of climate change, countries in the global north have greater adaptive capacity and resilience to protect themselves. Therefore, in the cartoon, they are able to escape this disaster due advantage over the global South that they have. The message is that the global South contribute the least to climate change and yet they will suffer the most. Countries in the global north emit more but will have more capacity to protect themselves in the advent of climate induced disasters. The global south is suffering from a problem that is not if their own making. Therefore, climate justice must be an underpinning principle to combating climate change to ensure that poor communities in the global south do not become shock absorbers for impacts of climate change in the future

''When you're finally up at the moon looking back at the earth all those differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going to blend and you're going to get a concept that maybe this is really one world and why the hell can't we learn to live together like decent people?" Quoted by Cosgrove. Simply put, my idea is one world, one people. Unity despite different skin colour or gender.

The cartoon shows the African continent floating in its own tears and sorrows due to lack of food for its children. It is made of millions of hungry mouths to feed but there is enough food. "Kids in Africa are angry" and Mother African is feeling the pain for her kids and is crying.

Girls, being silenced by multiple internal and external causes finally pull out the stitches that them silent for so long. Finally telling society that they will no longer just be quiet and will voice their opinions.

This idea is to show that the continent of Africa is isolated from the rest of the world, and the children in it. This idea is so that people can understand that children in Africa, and even children around the world are silenced and ignored by people in power.

This image is about how in South Africa, people are so poor that they have to often choose between school/literacy and warmth (which represents earning a living and keeping a roof above their heads) as children often have to leave school to start working in order to provide for their families.

My idea is an example of Gender Based Violence happening in South Africa. The woman in the sketch has her hands tied up with the male symbol,her mouth and throat as well.She has hands printed on her body which represnts how she has been sexually assaulted.

Why do I deserve to go through This?
I came up with this idea to bring awareness about what is happening to women around South Africa and any part of the world.It is something that should be stopped immediatley.

The cartoon hinges on the a similar theme to the titanic ship that sank after it hit an iceberg. Rich passengers were transported off into small boats while poor passengers were left to sink in the ship. Similarly, the ship in this cartoon represents the world and the iceberg represents the issue of climate change. Climate change (iceberg) will cause world scale destruction that threatens our entire world (ship). The submerged part of the ship represents the Global South and how poor people from grassroots communities in the Global South will bear impacts of climate change. The part of the ship that is above water represents the Global North and all the multinational corporations in rich countries that are responsible for majority of emissions. While the whole ship sinks (I.e the whole world is affected by climate change), people in the global North are less vulnerable to impacts of climate change.
