21 Years of Projects – Week 11: Mogale City Climate Change Response Strategy

Introduction

While air quality has been a cornerstone of Gondwana’s work, climate change is an equally urgent challenge—one that requires coordinated responses at every level of government and industry. Recognising the alignment between these fields, Gondwana expanded its expertise into climate change strategy development.

Project 11 of 21: Mogale City Municipality – 2013

In 2013, Gondwana was awarded the tender to assist Mogale City Municipality, situated on the western side of Gauteng, to develop their Climate Change Response Strategy.

This was a challenging and rewarding project that required:

• Identifying the municipality’s vulnerabilities to climate change,
• Engaging with a wide range of stakeholders and officials, and
• Prioritising both mitigation measures (reducing greenhouse gas emissions) and adaptation strategies (building resilience to unavoidable impacts).

Why It Matters

Climate change is not a distant issue—it’s a present-day reality. Municipalities, industries, and organisations must act now to build resilience and reduce risks. Projects like Mogale City’s strategy are essential building blocks in preparing communities for a changing climate.
