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. 606 $aClimatic changes$zSouth Africa 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation$zSouth Africa 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xGovernment policy$zSouth Africa 606 $aCarbon dioxide mitigation$zSouth Africa 606 $aCarbon dioxide mitigation$xGovernment policy$zSouth Africa 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xGovernment policy 615 0$aCarbon dioxide mitigation 615 0$aCarbon dioxide mitigation$xGovernment policy 676 $a363.7387460968 700 $aWinkler$b Harald$01699352 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829585603321 996 $aTaking action on climate change$94081549 997 $aUNINA
