| Summary: | South Africa's National Climate
Change Response Policy (NCCRP) sets out a number of key
goals. Reaching these goals will enable South Africa to meet
its commitments under the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They key elements
that will ensure South Africa can effectively track and
steer greenhouse has (GHG) emissions and removals are the
following: Establishment of a national system for GHG
measurement, reporting and verification (MRV). Meeting
UNFCCC reporting commitments on steps taken and envisaged to
implement the UNFCCC (focusing on understanding and driving
down GHG concentration trends). Integration of these MRV
activities with established South Africa systems for Air
Pollution Management. |
