Climate change is a key concern within South Africa. The country has a variety of ecosystems and habitats that are changing dramatically due to enhanced climate change - some of which is caused by human interference.
Climate change poses a significant threat to South Africa’s water resources, food security, health and infrastructure. In the context of South Africa’s socio-economic development and threatened ecosystem, it is of utmost importance that citizens become informed about the effects that climate change is having on the country and its biodiversity.
