Climate change: Causes, impacts, and what it means for South Africa

In this episode, hosted by Nicole Rodel from African Climate Reality Project, we cover the science and impacts of the global climate crisis - and what it means for Mzansi.

Nicole from African Climate Reality Project, together with civil society on the frontlines of climate and environmental injustice, explore how the climate crisis is connected to the socio-economic issues that many South Africans are faced with today - and what we can do to solve it.
