UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA - AFRICAN STUDIES CENTER |
The purpose of this exercise is to identify important environmental issues within the South Africa context. But these may also include issues of wider significance such as global warming and ozone depletion which also impact on South Africa. This task is a component of a study to investigate the possible use of environmental resource economics in South Africa.
Thanks in anticipation.
