Climate change poses a threat to the productivity of an economy, both from an agricultural and health perspective. As the effects of climate change are becoming more noticeable, ERSA supports research into how climate change directly impacts both present and future environments, economies and public health, especially in economies that are heavily dependent on agriculture.

ERSA is collaborating with the CVF/V20 as a regional partner in developing a Southern Africa regional derivative analysis for the CVM3, which provides a unique global assessment at the national level of present and potential future climate change impacts in key sectors of environment, economy, and public health. We also encourage the dissemination of research and debate around these issues. Take a look at the Climate Vulnerability Report, 3rd Edition, as well as other supporting publications and events to come.
