The predicted impacts of climate change in south Africa are:
Tourism going down the drain because of lack of places to “tour” in, which will have a huge effect on the economy since tourism represents 10% of the GDA.
The impact of climate change on human health is also considered as there will be a rising acuteness of diseases like malaria. deaths will increase and prices will rise for the correct treatment.
Forests, small but locally valuable in terms of commercial production of timber and non-timber products stand to be entirely lost.
Savannahs, important for grazing and the subsistence harvest of numerous resources may be severly reduced, leading to large losses in production of food.
