The extreme pressure of poverty, unemployment, hunger, and violence all exacerbated by the unending Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures was on stark display. The centre barely held.
Imagine adding the ravages of the climate crisis to this crisis of extreme inequality.
Right now, at an average global temperature increase of 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels, South Africa is already reeling from a prolonged drought and other disruptions to ecosystems and food crops.
