President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed into law the Climate Change Bill, which sets out a national climate change response, including mitigation and adaptation actions, which also constitutes South Africa’s fair contribution to the global climate change response. The Climate Change Act, as endorsed by the President, enables the alignment of policies that influence South Africa’s climate change response, to ensure South Africa’s transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy and society is not constrained by policy contradictions, the Presidency notes in a statement.
