What is SA doing to ‘Save Tomorrow Today’ – or not?

The COP17 United Nations Climate Change Conference was officially opened in Durban on Monday, 28th November by President Jacob Zuma, who reiterated the COP17 slogan: “Save Tomorrow Today”.

Sounds a bit hypocritical when SA is building the third largest coal power plant in the world, which will not only be a major contributor to climate change, but because Africa will feel its impact hardest.

How is Africa/South Africa going to ADAPT (instead of REACT) to climate change? – that is the big question.
How do we pressure government/Eskom to make changes?
How can civil society get involved?
What are the short/long term solutions?
