1.1 Environmental education (EE) processes need to take into consideration
the history and context behind certain environmental issues and their
implications for communities and their lived context.
1.1.1 State any three environmental issues faced by the South African citizens.
(3)
Climate Change: South Africa is experiencing the impacts of climate change,
including rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and increased frequency
and intensity of extreme weather events such as droughts and floods.
Water Scarcity: Many regions in South Africa face water scarcity due to a
combination of factors, including limited water resources, population growth,
inefficient water management practices, and climate variability.
Biodiversity Loss: South Africa is home to a rich diversity of plants and animals,
but habitat destruction, pollution, poaching, and invasive species threaten many
species and ecosystems.
1.1.2 Discuss the implications of the above-mentioned environmental
challenges. (6)
Climate Change:
Increased risk of droughts and water shortages, impacting agriculture, food
security, and livelihoods.
Disruption of ecosystems, leading to loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Health impacts due to heatwaves, increased vector-borne diseases, and decreased
air quality.
Water Scarcity:
Limited access to safe and clean water for drinking, sanitation, and hygiene.
