In what promises to be a ground-breaking initiative, in the battle against climate change, Stellenbosch University has announced the establishment of a new School for Climate Studies. This will be officially launched next month, in support of the transition to a climate-resilient society and a low-carbon economy. Joining CNBC Africa to discuss the case for climate studies is Professor Eugene Cloete, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research, Innovation and Postgraduate Studies at Stellenbosch University.
