Effects of heatwave on human health and climate change mitigation
Climate change experts from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) will brief the media on the current status of climate change in the country, and shed light on the complex health effects it has on South Africans.
The current heat conditions in South Africa have affected the already dry and drought-stricken country, aggravating existing vulnerabilities and affecting sectors such as water and agriculture.
CSIR researchers will share insights and give projections on climate change across South Africa. Researchers will also give helpful tips on how to mitigate the impact of climate change.
