4 No. 50966 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23 July 2024 Act no. 22 of 2024 Climate Change Act, 2024 4 AND WHEREAS implementing an effective climate change response is a national sustainable development priority as set out in the National Climate Change Response White Paper, while the Republic’s Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement, as may be varied from time to time, anticipates— (a) (b) the realisation of significant socio-economic and environmental benefits in a manner that is driven and customised in the light of national circumstances, developmental, transformational, empowering and participatory, dynamic and evidence-based, balanced, cost-effective, integrated and aligned; and support for a just transition to a climate-resilient, equitable and internationally competitive low-carbon economy and society, that takes into account the risks and opportunities that are expected to arise as a consequence of implementing the national climate change response; AND WHEREAS responding to climate change raises unique challenges to effective governance as its impact transcends and challenges traditionally sectoral governance approaches, which require a nationally driven, coordinated and cooperative legal and administrative response that acknowledges the significant role of the provincial and municipal spheres taking into account the Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act, 2005 (Act No. 13 of 2005); AND WHEREAS climate change policy needs to be implemented in the context of sustainable development objectives and the achievement of national development goals, it is desirable to develop a legal and institutional framework for the implementation of the Republic’s national climate change response, in order to address these matters, BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED by the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa, as follows:— ARRANGEMENT OF SECTIONS Sections CHAPTER 1 INTERPRETATION, OBJECTS AND APPLICATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

32 No. 50966 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23 July 2024 Act no. 22 of 2024 Climate Change Act, 2024 (b) may periodically review the national greenhouse gas emissions trajectory when national circumstances require such a review, including when such requirement is demonstrated by— (i) monitoring and evaluation results; (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) constraints and opportunities to implementation of policies and mea- technological advances; the best available science, evidence or information; the Republic’s international commitments and obligations; or sures. Sectoral emissions targets 25. (1) (a) The Minister must, within one year of the coming into operation of this Act, by notice in the Gazette, list the greenhouse gas emitting sectors and sub-sectors that are subject to sectoral emissions targets. (b) The list contemplated in paragraph (a) must appropriately reflect the national greenhouse gas emissions profile. (2) The Minister may vary the list of sectors and sub-sectors that are subject to sectoral emissions targets guided by the national greenhouse gas emissions profile. (3) The Minister must, in consultation with the Ministers responsible for each sector and sub-sector listed in terms of subsections (1) and (2), determine by notice in the Gazette the prescribed framework and the sectoral emissions targets for sectors and sub-sectors. (4) Sectoral emissions targets must— (a) be implemented by the Ministers responsible for the administration of sectors or sub-sectors listed in terms of subsections (1) and (2) through the relevant planning instruments, policies and programmes; (b) be aligned with the national greenhouse gas emissions trajectory, noting that the cumulative amount of greenhouse gas emission reductions which the sectoral emissions targets represent, ensures that the national greenhouse gas emissions profile is kept within the national greenhouse gas emissions trajectory; and include quantitative and qualitative greenhouse gas emission reduction goals for the first five years, the subsequent five to 10 years and for a 10 to 15 year period thereafter. (c) (5) When determining the sectoral emissions targets, the Minister must take all relevant considerations into account, including, amongst others— (a) (b) the socio-economic impacts of introducing the sectoral emissions targets; and the best available science, evidence and information. (6) The Minister responsible for each sector or sub-sector for which sectoral emissions targets have been determined, in accordance with subsection (3), must adopt policies and measures towards the achievement of the sectoral emissions targets. (7) The Minister, in consultation with the Ministers responsible for each sector and sub-sector listed in terms of subsections (1) and (2), must, every five years, review the sectoral emissions targets and, when the outcome of the review or national circumstances require it, revise and amend the sectoral emissions targets, including when the need for such revision and amendment is demonstrated by— (a) monitoring and evaluation results; (b) (c) (d) (e) technological advances; the best available science, evidence or information; the Republic’s international commitments and obligations; the strategic importance of the sector or sub-sector as a catalyst for growth and job creation in the economy; or the agreed approach to the just transition.

3. The interpretation and application of this Act must be guided by— (a) (b) (c) the national environmental management principles set out in section 2 of the National Environmental Management Act where applicable in this Act; the principle that the climate system must be protected for the benefit of present and future generations of humankind; the principle that acknowledges international equity and each country’s common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in light of different national circumstances; (f) (e) (g) (d) a contribution to a just transition towards low-carbon, climate-resilient and ecologically sustainable economies and societies which contribute to the creation of decent work for all, social inclusion and the eradication of poverty; the need for integrated management, in the context of climate change, which requires climate change considerations to be integrated into the making of decisions which may have a significant effect on the Republic’s ability to mitigate or which exacerbate its vulnerability to climate change; the need for decision-making to consider the special needs and circumstances of localities and people that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, including vulnerable workers and groups such as women, especially poor and rural women, children, especially infants and child- headed families, the aged, the poor, the sick and persons with disabilities; the need for a risk-averse and cautious approach to be adopted, which takes into account the limits of current knowledge about causes and effects of climate change and the consequences of decisions and actions in relation thereto; the need for climate change mitigation and adaptation responses to be informed by evolving climate change scientific knowledge and decisions which must be based on the best available science, evidence and information; an effective climate change response which requires preventative measures to mitigate the causes of climate change and to strengthen resilience through the adoption of adaptation measures; the costs of responding to the adverse impacts of climate change and of mitigation which must be paid for by those responsible for causing the adverse impacts; an integrated climate change response which requires the enhancement of public awareness of climate change causes and impacts and the promotion of participation and action at all levels; and a recognition that a robust and sustainable economy and a healthy society depends on the services that well-functioning ecosystems provide, and that enhancing the sustainability of the economic, social and ecological services is an integral component of an effective and efficient climate change response.
