Reverend Lusama considers climate advocacy as part of the church’s prophetic role. He said the churches should work alongside other civil groups in addressing climate change. “The recognition of the severity of the issue and the urgency of it brings us together. We recognise the need to stand together, to work together and put all efforts together in trying to help our people.”
