ICAT SA Project - Inception Workshop - 20240306

The South African government is legislating the Climate Change Bill. The bill is a key step towards a coordinated, integrated national response to climate change and a just transition to a low-carbon economy. The Bill sets out the institutional arrangements to ensure harmonization of climate-related policies, plans, programmes, and decision-making processes. Implementation takes center stage, with provincial and municipal governments required to establish Climate Change Needs and Response Assessments to serve as blueprints for climate action.

The DFFE has received funding from ICAT (Initiative for Climate Action Transparency) in support of this process and this project aims to provide capacity building on GHG inventory development, mitigation target setting and tracking mitigation actions.

Gondwana Environmental Solutions is the appointed service provider for the implementation of this DFFE supported project towards capacitation of Provincial officials.

The project inception workshop took place online on 6 March 2024
