TRANSCRIPT
Implementation of Climate Change Actions in South Africa
17 April 2018
SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL IN SOUTH
AFRICA
South Africa and Paris COP 21 Agreement
Implications of the Paris Agreement for
South Africa• South should submit a progressively ambitious nationally determined contribution
(NDC) every five years.
– South Africa submitted its first NDC in 2015 covering 2025 to 2030
– South Africa’s first NDC included adaptation, mitigation and a support component for national scale programmes requiring implementation support
• Develop and scale-up policies and measures (PAMs) to implement our NDCS, and to report on progress with these PAMs
• Account for the extent to which we have met the goals of our NDC
• Submit regular reports including biennial reports to the UNFCCC on developments in the implementation of our national climate response including adaptation
• South Africa will be encouraged to develop a long-term low-carbon development strategy.

South Africa Overall Governance
Framework for Reducing GHG Emissions
• Greenhouse gas emissions are to peak by 2025, plateau between 2025 – 2035 and decline thereafter within an emission trajectory range of 398 to 614 Mt CO2eq
• Pre-2020 implementation provides the foundation for meeting the post 2020 commitments.
• The governance framework comprises four key elements implemented in phases
– Phase 1: 2016 - 2020
– Phase 2: 2021 - 2025

South Africa’s Green Climate Fund Strategic
Framework
• Increasingly sophistication characterised by use of market mechanisms that
integrated with South Africa’s mitigation goals and supporting systems
Transitioning to a Low-carbon and Climate
Resilient Economy and Society
• South Africa already has well-developed base for mitigating climate change and building climate resilience
• The Climate Change Flagship Programmes of the National Climate Change Response Policy are South Africa’s response to implementing climate action at a national scale
• The Climate Change Flagship programmes are implementation programmes, and represent the leading actions committed to and underway, which advance South Africa’s climate change response efforts
• The programmes provide a coordination and consolidating structure for enable national-scale implementation – providing the mechanism the implementation of projects or groups of projects
• The programmes include both the scaling-up of existing climate change initiatives and new initiatives that are ready to come on-stream by 2020
Climate Change Flagship Programmes Goals
• The Climate Change Flagship Programmes respond to the three key challenges
facing South Africa and other countries as global efforts to address climate
change intensify:
1) Demonstrating the course of actions needed to respond to climate change effectively
and efficiently unlocking and realising significant social and economic benefits;
2) Attracting resources at the scale required to enable meaningful transformation, i.e. at
the scale that effectively limits atmospheric GHG emissions and/or enables
adaptation to the impacts of unavoidable climate change;
3) Igniting national-scale action at the speed required to respond to climate change, i.e.
limiting GHG emissions and/or enabling adaptation change with the necessary
urgency

• Urgent, comprehensive and coordinated large
scale implementation of energy efficiency
measures and technologies, across all sectors of
South Africa’s economy and society stimulating
the establishment of inclusive and localised
energy services and technologies
Energy Efficiency in Public Infrastructure and
Buildings Programme
All spheres of the South African government (national, provincial and municipal) have
measurably contributed to national GHG mitigation and energy efficiency targets, by
applying cost-effective mechanisms for energy efficiency interventions in public
infrastructure and buildings.
Impact
Vertical integration of mitigation strategies
established, mitigation potential on provincial
and municipal level tapped
Private climate financing accessed and public
climate financing improved
Evidence provided that GHG mitigation targets can be
met and flagship programmes can be implemented
Combination of mitigation targets with other
development targets successfully proven
