In terms of reductions in labour availability and sectoral productivity, climate change could cost South Africa up to 11% of per capita GDP by the end of the century. At the same time, if appropriate policy measures are adopted, changes to the labour market linked to the rising temperatures could help reduce the gender pay gap in rural communities. The effects of climate change on the South African economy and gender inequality are presented in a study conducted by the CMCC Foundation, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment.
