We have one.

Lesotho’s 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 is a roadmap for reducing climate risks, protecting people and resources, building resilience, and supporting low-carbon development.

Because knowing about climate change is one thing. Knowing what to do about it is another. 🌱

🌍 One Planet. One Future. One Responsibility. 🌱

This World Environment Day, let's stand together for climate action and a greener, more resilient Lesotho.

📺 Tune in to LTV tonight, immediately after the news, for the Minister of Environment and Forestry's national address.

🌿 HARE HO SEMONKO 🌿⛰

Happily joined the celebration of International Biodiversity Day 2026 Yesterday, 27th May 2026, that was hosted by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry through the Department of Environment in Semonkong, Tsenekeng.

The celebration was honoured by the presence of Hi Royal Highness (HRH), Prince Seeiso Bereng.

The event brought together communities, learners, stakeholders and environmental advocates to reflect on the importance of biodiversity in sustaining life, strengthening livelihoods and securing a greener future for generations to come.

As we celebrate the beauty and richness of our environment, let us continue to act responsibly in protecting our mountains, rivers, grasslands and all living species that make Lesotho unique.

🌱 Acting Locally for Global Impact.

Back again, and what a meaningful day to reconnect 🌍🌱😁

Today celebrates the richness of life around us and the responsibility we all share in protecting it for generations to come.

Together, we explored the basics of climate, weather, and climate change, and discussed simple actions we can all take to protect our planet. 🌱🌡️☁️🌪️

It was inspiring to see young learners engage with these important topics, their curiosity and energy remind us why climate education matters.

The planet is heating up and fast. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱, 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯. Since the 1880s, Earth has already warmed by about +1 °C, and the last decade has been the hottest stretch in human history.

This isn’t just about numbers. Rising seas, melting ice, hotter oceans, and more extreme weather are proof that climate change is reshaping our world in real time. Scientists warn that the future depends on what we do now:
• With 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀, warming could be held to+𝟮 °𝗖 or less.
• Without action, we’re on track for +𝟱 °𝗖 𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝟮𝟭𝟬𝟬 a level that would bring devastating floods, fires, and storms across the globe.

Lesotho is already experiencing the effects of climate change, with rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns. According to national climate projections, by 2030 the country will see noticeably hotter summers and more frequent droughts, especially in the lowland areas where agriculture is most vulnerable.

This means greater stress on water supplies, reduced crop yields, and heightened risks for rural communities that depend on farming. Looking further ahead, by 2050, if greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, Lesotho could face severe warming under high emission scenarios (RCP8.5), with temperature increases of 2–3 °C or more compared to today. Such changes would amplify droughts, reduce snowpack in the mountains, and threaten the country’s long term food security and economic stability.

Climate change is no longer tomorrow’s problem it’s today’s reality. The choices we make now will decide whether we face a manageable challenge or a planetary crisis.
