| Summary: | South Africa has a comprehensive climate
change response strategy to support the transition to a low
carbon economy and a climate-resilient society. Improving
the national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory and implementing
a carbon tax are but two elements that form part of this
transition. Developing mandatory GHG reporting regulations
will support not only the National GHG Inventory but also
aid policy formulation, implementation, and legislation
while allowing South Africa to meet its reporting
obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC). |
