CLIMATE CHANGE
Rising global temperatures, prolonged droughts and the increasing prevalence of disease are some of the devastating impacts of climate change, said Prof. Thokozani Majozi, president of the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) Council, at last week’s Science20 (S20) meeting in Pretoria.
From wildfires in the Americas and Australia to catastrophic flooding in Europe and Asia, no region is immune. “Climate change does not recognise national boundaries, making international scientific cooperation not just beneficial but essential,” he said.
