PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
South Africa is one of the world's 20 largest emitters of greenhouse gases. The coal-based power generation and industry are particularly responsible for this.
At the same time, the country is particularly hard hit by the consequences of climate change. Extreme weather events, such as the severe drought in the Cape Town region from 2016 to 2018, are becoming more frequent. Temperatures in South Africa are also expected to rise comparatively sharply. The challenge is to translate South Africa's ambitious climate protection contributions into national climate protection measures to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change.
At the same time, the country - with its three global biodiversity hotspots - is crucial for preserving global biodiversity (Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework). In order to counter the threat to biodiversity, it is essential to adequately consider biodiversity and ecosystems in policy and planning.
Objective
The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE) develops and implements knowledge-based and effective climate and biodiversity measures that implement and increase South Africa's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
Approach
The project supports the DFFE in implementing the national clima
