Major role for communities in climate change adaptation
Business Live reports that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the South African government have stepped up efforts to ensure that the SA public understands global warming issues and the role that communities will play in the process of adaptation to climate change.
Adaptation refers to actions that will help communities cope with the inevitable impacts of climate change.
According to the Business Live report, a national climate change response policy white paper with key input from UNDP was adopted by Cabinet recently. The policy paper will be unveiled at the United Nations 17th Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP17) in Durban later this month and lays out a strategy for the country's transition to a "climate-resilient and lower-carbon economy".
