South Africa, despite being an upper-middle-income country, is increasingly vulnerable to the harsh impacts of climate change. Over the years, the country has experienced severe weather events like droughts, wildfires, extreme temperatures, and particularly destructive floods.
The world is increasingly feeling the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, not just in rising global temperatures or melting glaciers but in the lived realities of people and communities across the globe.
Oceans are essential for life on Earth. They regulate our climate, produce oxygen, and support vast ecosystems. For South Africa, the ocean provides a critical economic lifeline, supporting the fisheries industry worth R6 billion and employing more than 27,000 people.
Extreme weather events have become more frequent and intense due to climate change, posing a significant challenge to emergency response systems globally.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how we produce and consume renewable energy. AI technologies optimize systems to improve efficiency and effortlessly integrate different renewable energy sources.
Energy is one of the most critical enablers of development in the modern world. It powers homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals, and plays a crucial role in enhancing productivity, improving living standards, and fostering economic growth.
The recent floods that devastated Emilia-Romagna and other Italian regions have made it even clearer how necessary it is today to know how to deal with the consequences of climate change, both through short-term and long-term actions.
Now, let's talk about different renewable energies. There are many, including wind power, solar energy, and geothermal electricity sources, from which all kinds of environmentally friendly power are derived. But nowadays, everybody has these two in mind: wind and solar.
