The SETs Report details the proposed SETs allocation targets to be adopted by the sector departments to support South Africa in meeting its domestic and international commitment to combat climate change and to support the implementation of South Africa’s National Determined Contribution (“NDC”) under the Paris Agreement.
The SETs form a key national policy instrument defined in the National Climate Change Policy (2011) that will drive South Africa’s transition to lower carbon economy and climate resilience society, and will anchor the attainment of the National Development Plan (Vision 2030).
