# Die Presidensiële Klimaatkommissie waarsku Suid-Afrika loop die gevaar van toenemende risiko’s sonder dringende klimaatoptrede. Die kommissie sê in sy konsep-aanbevelings vir die land se klimaatsteikens temperatuurstygings sal lei tot ‘n vermindering in mielieproduksie en watertekorte, wat voedselbeskikbaarheid sal raak. Suid-Afrika kan teen die einde van die eeu temperatuurstygings van tussen twee en vyf grade […]

# Meer as 300 top-omgewingsregslui dagvaar die Nieu-Seelandse regering oor ‘n gevaarlike en onvolledige plan om vrystellings teen 2050 tot nul te verminder. Die eerste vrystellingsverminderingsplan, van Desember verlede jaar, toon dat Nieu-Seeland op koers is om koolstofvrystellings teen 2030 te bereik, maar nie die teikens in die vyf jaar daarna sal haal nie. In […]
