Climate Action Partnership

produced by: Green Renaissance

About Climate Action Partnership:

Climate Action Partnership work with partner organizations and selected demonstration projects within these organizations to promote and support ecosystems-based adaptation to and mitigation of climate change. CAP raises awareness around climate change and the role of healthy ecosystems in building resilience for both biodiversity and society. CAP funds pilot projects exploring adaptation and mitigation options in South Africa across a range of ecosystems, including arid Namaqualand and sub-tropical Kwazulu Natal. CAP works with the partner organizations to input into policy-making, strategy planning, and to support climate change and biodiversity conservation research. Such efforts necessarily involve working with local people to ensure sustainable livelihoods for the people of South Africa.
