KZN flood victims could sue fossil fuel companies , report finds
South Africa is facing a legal challenge for climate change damages, according to new evidence released by the country s environmental rights agency (Cerer) and the Environmental Protection Agency (Environmental Rights Commission) (SERA) in the South African city of KwaZulu-Natal (Durban), which killed more than 400 people in floods last year.. But How is the government taking legal action to tackle the devastating disasters in Durban and other areas of the world could be able to claim compensation for the polluter causes and risks of pollution, it has been revealed. Climate change is being treated as an essential part of efforts to protect communities from dangerous levels of carbon and methane emissions, the UN has told the BBC. The BBC has learned about the impacts caused by those who are responsible for causing the worst to have their lives devastated, with no avenue for legal complaints for such cases. A report has found that the state is trying to get permission to legally submit claims to the local authorities to take action against the deadly earthquakes that affected the city and surrounding parts of South Afrika, but it is not going to be the only province in Africa that has not been accused of an act of polluters - and it would be a signatory to Rio Declaration where they have been declared illegally, and is likely to face calls for an appeal to make justice.
