Environmental Science
This booklet aims to increase public awareness of Climate Change by demystifying Climate Change using scientific evidence. We hope to inform South Africans of some of the Climate Change uncertainties, risks and opportunities they may be exposed to. Most importantly, readers will obtain insights on how they may mitigate and adapt to Climate Change-related challenges and opportunities.
