Climate Change, Development and Energy Problems in South Africa

Climate Change, Development and Energy Problems in South Africa: Another World is Possible is a report that outlines the impact that can be expected of climate change to both natural environments and human populations. While no one knows what the localised impacts will be, for example exactly what rainfall changes to expect in Colesberg or Tzaneen, we do have a good sense of the broader general trends. This report charts those trends: South Africa will become hotter and drier over the interior, agricultural productivity and production patterns willchange, and we will see species loss in many areas, including large protected areas such as the Kruger National Park. The report was produced by Earthlife Africa Johannesburg in conjunction with Oxfam International.
