As Africa’s 3rd largest economy + the world’s 12th largest Co2 emitter #SouthAfrica is key to global #netzero. A clear plan to decarbonise SA can act as a roadmap for the developing world.
New analysis is a wake up call for leaders to ensure that equity is central to plans.

[Net Zero Tracker @NetZeroTracker]

Great report in @TRF on our #equity analysis with @SouthSouthNorth of the #climate plans of #SouthAfrica's key economic engines - revealing an uneven, patchwork of different approaches to achieving a fair, people-focused #justtransition.

.@TakeshiKuramo: "We need countries to set their next #NDCs based on the vision of the economy that they wish to pursue.
Often, we've seen targets using conventional energy models, assuming BAU continues for the next 50-70 yrs, that's not the case." @newclimateinst @ClimateGroup

@cathmckenna @TakeshiKuramo @UNC @oxmartinschool @thomasnhale @CalEPASecretary Up next, @VolvoGroup’s Karin Svensson talks another example of practical implementation of high integrity net zero approach, adapting to deliver electric trucks.

.@CalEPASecretary on U.S. climate action: "At the end of the day, there's so many actors moving with us, especially in private sector. One of our most important lessons, with legislative partners, is that biz want certainty, they appreciate that #climaterisk is financial risk."
