Climate Change Response Strategy M&E Report 2015-16

Summary

This report, "Western Cape Climate Change Response Strategy Biennial Monitoring & Evaluation Report 2015/16," serves as the initial progress assessment for the Western Cape Climate Change Response Strategy 2014 (WCCCRS). It aims to coordinate information from various stakeholders, identify areas for development and planning, and evaluate the implementation of the strategy's focus areas, such as water, food security, energy, waste, transport, human settlements, biodiversity, and coastal management. The document acknowledges the increasing impacts of climate change in the region, including rising temperatures, decreased rainfall, and increased extreme weather events, and outlines governmental efforts and challenges in both mitigation and adaptation. Future reports are expected to establish proportional and ambitious provincial targets for addressing climate change.
