Answer to Question #212896 in Political Science for Kathleen Greeff

Question

 

Identify and discuss one possible social or economic benefit to South Africa of the successful implementation of the South African Climate Change

Response Strategy

Answer 1

One potential economic benefit to South Africa of the successful execution of the South African Climate Change Response Strategy is reducing reliance on globalized mono-cropping and diversification of the variety of plant nurtured. This will minimize susceptibility while also providing jobs and maybe decreasing the demand for irrigation. The evolution of more and better drought resistant plants would help satisfy current and future country's food requirements by improving production efficiency levels in rural regions, with immediate effect. Reduced usage of certain pesticides might reduce carbon pollutants and water contamination, contributing to adaptability and mitigation.
