Although climate change is a natural occurance, human, industrial and development activities over the past two centuries have caused changes in climate independent from natural changes. Climate change is a slow, natural cycle that causes the earth's temperature to rise and fall periodically over centuries. Human intervention, however, has speed up the process and has had catastrophic effects across the globe. All ecosystems and biodiversities are threatened by climate change and its effects are remarkable on all life.
Climate change has a profound impact on human life, it influences temperature shifts, food security, water resources, greenhouse gasses. South Africa's National Climate Change Response Policy (NCCRP) commits The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) in section 12 to publish annual progress reports on monitoring climate change responses. These documents represent the primary output of the climate change monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework and the 2015 annual report is the first of these progress reports. It focuses on providing a narrative of the information that the DEA's climate change branch has collated over the past few years.
