South Africa has pledged to actively collaborate in implementing the landmark agreements established at the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Belem, Brazil. The summit, which concluded with a series of decisive measures, focused on enhancing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), boosting climate finance, and creating a just transition mechanism to ensure equitable climate action. South African Minister Aucamp emphasized the country’s readiness to leverage its robust national instruments to meet both domestic and global climate commitments. ‘We will work with all Parties to transform these resolutions into tangible actions,’ Aucamp stated. The Ministry highlighted the summit’s emphasis on updating NDCs, which are critical national climate action plans under the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the ‘Global Mutirão’ initiative was launched to accelerate the implementation of these plans, providing support to countries in developing adaptation strategies. Maesela Kekana, Deputy Director-General of the South African Department and chief negotiator at COP30, underscored the establishment of a two-year work program on climate finance, designed to mobilize resources for developing nations. Kekana also called on developed countries to triple their adaptation funding by 2035 and progressively increase their financial contributions to support global climate efforts.
