South Africa needs to commit to transitioning to net-zero by 2050 – report

As a country with one of the most emissions-intensive power sectors in the world, and as a nation that is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, South Africa needs to commit to find ways to transition to a net-zero emission economy by 2050, National Business Initiative (NBI) CEO Joanne Yawitch asserts. She notes that, in particular, the country needs to understand the need to transition its economy and to decarbonise, as well as to build resilience to the impacts of climate change.
