- The South African government has published its second Nationally Determined Contribution, proposing a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target range of 320-380 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2035.
According to the Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, this commitment demonstrates South Africa’s dedication to a just energy transition and international climate obligations. Ntshavheni was speaking at a post Cabinet media briefing yesterday.
