South Africa
South Africa has been hit with the effects of climate change to an extreme, this has also impacted the food security and the availability of water in this country. South Africa’s government, along with the African Union attempt to help by placing policies made to decrease the impacts of climate change through imposed taxes and encouraging an eco-friendlier way of life throughout the continent. However, there are many challenges when it comes to attempting to change the path of climate change from where it is already headed, even with its benefits this can all still be problematic as reversing the impacts of climate change will help keep their water sources stable, it has the likely possibility of causing food to become scarcer due to the increase in price to maintain crops and the increased amount of land different types of fuel will require also resulting in higher price or lack of land. There are however limitations to these arguments as we are currently experiencing climate change therefore most of the data is based strictly on predictions and not much practical testing or experience. This paper will discuss the initiatives put in place to combat climate change, food security and water scarcity, the obstacles surrounding fixing those issues, and what the future of South African climate change and food security looks like while explain the limitations of current data.
