dc.description.abstractBackground: Anthropogenic climate change has been on full display in recent years. Since June 2021, global news has regularly featured reports of heatwaves in the Pacific North-West of America, floods in Germany and China, and droughts in South Africa. July 2021 was significant in South Africa in this regard: alongside existing disaster legislation enacted to manage the Covid-19 pandemic, the National Disaster Management Centre declared drought as a disaster in the Western Cape, Northern Cape, and Eastern Cape, as dams in these three provinces were running dry. In April 2022, catastrophic flooding led to loss of life and homes and the destruction of public infrastructure in Kwa-Zulu Natal. The first half of 2023 was characterised by scorching temperatures across southern Europe and raging wildfires in Canada. For years, scientists and environmentalists have been warning that human activity is negatively affecting the planet, and recent catastrophic events are indicative of these forecasts coming to pass.
