5 May, 2010The Southern African Sub-Regional Meeting in Johannesburg discussed climate change issues and their impact on Africa. It was recognised that Africa will be most severely impacted by fossil based capitalist accumulation induced climate change in terms of impact but also from the limited capacity that the impoverished continent has to adapt to irreversible changes that are already underway.
