Climate change is a challenge we need to take on together. The Green Book is a multi-disciplinary, open-access planning support system that provides evidence to South African municipalities to adapt their cities and towns to current and future climate change impacts based on their risk assessment. The Green Book offers an in-depth, current, and future (up to the year 2050) climate risk and vulnerability profile for every one of the 213 municipalities in the country, whilst providing downscaled profiles for selected metros. Through P4RR, we have partnered with CSIR to further drive the adoption of the Green Book by municipalities.

To make a real difference, we believe it's important to focus on public-private partnerships. One example of how we're collaborating with others is our Partnership for Risk and Resilience (P4RR) programme. This initiative helps communities develop flood and fire disaster resilience through pragmatic preventive measures, thus fulfilling our vision of narrowing the risk protection gap. The programme has to date empowered 82 municipalities through improved disaster preparedness via training and resources.
