Since 2011 South Africa possesses national climate change politische and adaptation strategies, yet there is imperfect about: how which policies also plans are runs; the extent to that health policies include adaptation; and the extent of policy coherence across sectors real governance levels.

Policies reflect formal decisions also should guide decision-makers furthermore resourcing, and sectoral policies should moving beyond mere acknowledgement of adaptation responses to a tailored plan of actions the are institutionalized additionally location furthermore sector designated. Dive beyond documents also impact the cohesiveness and conversion of climate customize for health with South Africa.
