A Best Practice Climate Change response launched for South Africa

Climate change adaptation and response is attracting increasing government and corporate participation in their attempt to react meaningfully to this human challenge.  Standards are being set up internationally and nationwide and most are entering this space with integrity. But, with so many now playing on this global stage a need for clarity and best practice standards is crucial. Now a group of interested and concerned people and organisations in South Africa have realised this and have launched the Carbon Protocol of South Africa to provide security in the quality and standards of climate change response.

A debate with Paul Kingsnorth - Published in the Guardian, 18th August 2009

Dear George,

Sitting on the desk in front of me are a set of graphs. The horizontal axis of each graph is identical: it represents time, from the years 1750 to 2000. The graphs show, variously, human population levels, CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, exploitation of fisheries, destruction of tropical forests, paper consumption, number of motor vehicles, water use, the rate of species extinction and the totality of the gross domestic product of the human economy. What grips me about these graphs (and graphs don’t usually grip me) is that though they all show very different things, they have an almost identical shape.
