5 mayo, 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. Trade unions need to be at the forefront of demanding appropriate measures that integrate industrial development with adaptation and mitigation strategies on climate change, realising that climate and economic issues are fundamentally linked. It was clear that a global and regional response is necessary and delegates began creating a discussion framework document to facilitate further discussions towards an Africa focused position and action plan.
