The sixth assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an important contribution to enhancing scientific understanding on climate change that must inform international policy at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, in November, says Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister Barbara Creecy.
“Climate action remains a national and international priority and South Africa remains firmly committed to contributing our best effort towards the global cause of addressing climate change.
“In this regard, we will be submitting our revised Nationally Determined Contribution to mitigate greenhouse-gas emissions to the UNFCCC ahead of COP 26.”
