Being Green

In this week's edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Gina Ziervogel, Associate Professor in Environmental and Geographical Sciences at UCT. She's lead author of the chapter on cities, settlements, and key infrastructure, in a new report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was published on Monday. It says both humans and nature are being pushed beyond their ability to adapt, and that any further delay in global action to mitigate climate change will result in the world missing the 'the brief and rapidly closing window' to secure a liveable future.
