The strategic options outlined in the book will enable South Africa to turn climate change mitigation into a pro-growth, pro-job and pro-development strategy for the future, and points the way for other developing countries.Climatic changesSouth AfricaGreenhouse gas mitigationSouth AfricaGreenhouse gas mitigationGovernment policySouth AfricaCarbon dioxide mitigationSouth AfricaCarbon dioxide mitigationGovernment policySouth AfricaClimatic changesGreenhouse gas mitigationGreenhouse gas mitigationGovernment policyCarbon dioxide mitigationCarbon dioxide mitigationGovernment policy363.7387460968Winkler Harald1699352MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829585603321Taking action on climate change4081549UNINA
