Govt. Given ‘Climate Red Lines’ On Drought in SA
--:--
With parts of South Africa in the grip of one of the worst droughts in thirty years, civil society organisations today called on Government to stand for climate justice at the upcoming climate negotiations by securing finance for adaptation and increasing ambition to cut emissions at home. The next round of climate negotiations, COP21 (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 21st Conferences of the Parties), began in Paris today, and as Chair of the G77+China group made up of developing countries, South Africa has a critical role to play. In response to both, a group of South African environmental campaign groups, faith based organisations and community campaigners have set out non-negotiable ‘climate red lines’ providing the delegation with its mandate for COP21 and calling for a greater ambition to cut emissions.
