Ministers agree to act on warnings of soaring temperatures in Africa

Article Abstract:

Studies are conducted into the likely consequences of global warming for Africa, and it is predicted that reduced rainfall is expected to accompany the rise in temperature, which would have severe effects on biodiversity. The South Africa government called for a meeting and each of the South African ministers responsible for environment, energy, agriculture and water promised to outline proposals to mitigate the effects of climate change, with strong commitments, and the key is to covert concerns into action.

The Africa Centre has presented a good opportunity for conducting research in an HIV-stricken area, which might prove to be an ideal testing ground for interventions developed at IIDMM.
