Welcome to the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism's new climate change web pages
These pages are new and have been developed in order to provide a comprehensive resource of information, links and publications on climate change and ozone layer protection and the action being taken to address these issues both globally and here in South Africa.

In addition to a large amount of background information on these subjects and a section on 'what is happening in South Africa' to address the problem of climate change and ozone layer protection, these pages also feature stories, interviews and profiles with people actively involved in climate change work within the South African government and other organisations. A set of resources, such as publications, educational materials and links to other useful sites, is included to assist you in finding out more about climate change and ozone layer protection both in South Africa and elsewhere.
DEAT hopes that these pages will provide one of the first and most comprehensive guides to climate change, ozone layer protection and associated activities within South Africa.

The design of these pages was made possible through the support of the Norwegian Aid Agency NORAD. Development of content was facilitated by Palmer Development Group
