We cannot afford any further increases. We cannot afford more than 1.5 degree Celsius • We call on the strong and binding mechanisms that will address the current effect of climate change especially on the emerging small scale farmers, women, youth and rural poor • COP 21 delegate must represent the interest of the poor and disadvantages Water and climate change • South Africa is a country of water shortages and the climate change is having a negative effect on our water resources NWRS2 • The annual rainfall of about 464 mm per annual • With the current situation of climate impact – the scenarios shows that the will be a reduction of water availability The changes of water patterns • South Africa will be more affected if the UNFCCC does not develop mechanisms that will address the long term effect of Climate Change • It estimated that the costal lines they will be see more rainfalls • In the interior and western parts of the country, climate change is likely to lead to more intense and prolong droughts to the future Emission • VEJA believe that South African Contribution to climate change will be increased in the future as Government fails to regulate contributors of big green house gas emissions • Our environment and planet cannot sustained the current economic models and the impact of climate change is increasing and the Paris COP must not be other political parade, as our positions is South Africa must be, below 1.5 degree Celsius and binding Adaptation and mitigation • South Africa need ambitions actions for air quality and climate change mitigations • There must be allocation of financial resource for mitigation of affected communities • VTPA plans to reduce Emission must be rational inters of timing scope and reduction targets to accommodate sustainable development.
