WEATHERING EXTREMES: Scientists challenge ‘business as usual’, calling for Southern-led climate scenarios to tackle the crisis
From the Garden Route’s droughts to Limpopo’s deltas, the climate crisis is hitting Africa with ‘polycrisis’ complexity that traditional modelling fails to capture. Wits University’s Professor Laura Pereira and a global team of scientists are calling for Integrated Transformative Scenarios, a new research agenda designed to break the monopoly of Western economic assumptions and give the Global South a seat at the modelling table.

FLIC Trust Score70 / 100
How FLIC Trust Scores workFLIC Trust Scores turn community ratings into a 0–100 signal about how readers assess a story. Fake News votes lower the score, while Liberal, Conservative, and Independent classifications support it. The formula also rewards a balanced split between Liberal and Conservative ratings instead of treating one political viewpoint as automatically more trustworthy. Scores can change as more people vote and represent community judgment, not a factual verdict or substitute for reading the original reporting. Learn more about how FLIC works.
