Despite experiencing "slow and fragile" economic growth "burdened by structural

problems" like high unemployment and inequality, South Africa is scaling up its
current ambitious efforts to address climate change.
This was the message Minister of Tourism Derek Hanekom brought on behalf of
President Cyril Ramaphosa to the COP24 climate change conference in
Katowice, Poland, on Wednesday.
Hanekom said: "Climate change poses the single most serious threat to Africa's
development and prosperity. During the past few years SA has experienced
devastating weather events. Several regions of our country faced their worst
drought in decades. The impact was felt most severely by the poorest and most
vulnerable sectors of our society."
