Understanding nature’s impact: South Africans' awareness, interest and concern

The 2022 South African Public Relationship with Science (SAPRS) Survey asked the public about their knowledge of, and concern about, several environmental issues. Here we present the public's self-reported knowledge, interest and concern about environmental issues. We include a focus on two natural disasters by province: droughts or water shortages, and floods, both of which have affected the country extensively over the last few years.
