Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy has confirmed that the Presidential Climate Change Commission, which was proposed as part of agreements reached at the 2018 Jobs Summit, will be established and will become a key platform for facilitating South Africa’s ‘just transition’ to a low-carbon economy. Speaking at a recent stakeholder dialogue hosted as part of South Africa’s preparations for the upcoming United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting, Creecy revealed that President Cyril Ramaphosa had agreed that the process of establishing the commission should begin in earnest.
