Climate Resilient Nelson Mandela Bay
How do we get Nelson Mandela Bay ready for climate change?
That’s the focus of this year-long project in partnership with the Presidential Climate Commission, Civil Society, Business, NMU & the Municipality. The climate resilient Nelson Mandela Bay project seeks to get input from the people of the metro on what changes are already happening, what changes can we expect, and how do we turn adversity in opportunity to build a climate resilient metro by 2055?
