South Africa Climate Change Law
South Africa’s new climate change law, signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa in October 2023, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by limiting pollution from major polluters and requiring municipalities to create climate action plans. This law aligns South Africa’s efforts with the Paris Climate Agreement. It introduces a carbon budget system for large emitters, mandates sector-specific emission targets, and establishes the nation’s first legal framework for climate response. While the law is expected to significantly cut pollution and promote green energy, challenges include the need for clear regulations, sufficient funding, and effective implementation strategies.
