 My role was as a go-between, as a leader of a project that was under the Department of Environmental Affairs, which is the core of the LTAS, the long-term adaptation scenarios process. And what we discovered fairly early on in that process was that the DUCC was working, had involved scientific and treasury in a similar sort of a project. So what we did was to combine forces and to try to integrate the kind of information that we were producing with the kind of information that was being used in the treasury work. And that allowed us to really get those two projects to gel and to intercompare, especially with regard to their climate scenarios. So we explicitly compared the scenarios climate-wise that were coming out of the MIT process with scenarios that were being produced by Southern African and South African climate scientists who were downscaling global models. And that really avoided the issue of coming up with very different scenarios and very different conclusions. So we made sure that we were working on similar sorts of scenarios and it really helped to get a coherent story together for policymakers in South Africa. The country is really trying to take a long-term view of what it needs to do with regard to adaptation. We know that we face a warmer future that's virtually dialed in. We are uncertain about what rainfall is going to do. We live in a very variable rainfall environment as it is. And we know that rainfall variability drives our economy. So rainfall makes a difference to especially how much water we have available and crop production. So from a climate change perspective we need to start thinking about especially how we invest our water resources into the future. So those sorts of concerns drove an agenda of trying to understand particularly how the needs of different sectors would be affected by climate change and how we could put in place policies, frameworks for allowing different sectors to adapt to the expected projected changes in climate without falling over each other, getting in each other's way. So we face potential trade-offs in water allocations say between urban use and between agriculture. So if both of those different elements of development go off in a certain direction they would come into quite severe competition for water for example. So the LTA is trying to look at those future synergies and clashes in resource needs and to trade them off against one another and look at what is the best way forward for adaptation under a possibly water-constrained future. I think access into an international team that's cutting edge, exposure to techniques which cope with the levels of uncertainty that we currently have. So the MIT union team has got some techniques for addressing uncertainty by looking at these probability density functions and seeing how those are changed under climate change, the impacts of mitigation on those. These are all really, really useful insights that we've taken on board here. And fundamentally it's just valuable working with teams that have worked with other countries that have learned from other countries as UNU wider has done and it brought some of that knowledge and some of that know-how into South Africa has been extremely valuable.
