Embedding Climate Change in Municipal Planning and Actions

Authors: Dr Sharon Pollard, Dr Taryn Kong, and Ancois de Villiers

The project, Embedding climate change in municipal planning and actions, was developed and implemented to address an identified gap in capacity development of local government within the Olifants River Catchment on climate change adaptation. This gap was a concern because, in the current policy and practice of the South African government’s action on climate change, local government is regarded to be at the forefront of implementing plans and strategies.
