The Climate Change Bill has been signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa. The law aims to help South Africa respond effectively to climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It aims to align policies to ensure a smooth transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. The law emphasizes the importance of coordination between national sector departments to meet South Africa's commitments under the Paris Agreement. Additionally, it outlines the functions of the Presidential Climate Commission and the roles of provinces and municipalities in mitigation efforts.

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has emerged as a key player when it comes to environmental responsibility, setting ambitious targets to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions via carbon credit offsets. At the forefront of Saudi Arabia’s environmental initiatives is the dynamic approach to carbon neutrality. The Kingdom is determined to not only reduce its carbon footprint but also actively contribute to offsetting emissions through a comprehensive carbon credit program.

Saudi Arabia introduces Green Financing Framework reflecting a significant commitment to driving sustainability The green financing framework of the Kingdom seeks to adhere to international green finance principles and facilitate the funding of initiatives that combat climate change and its impacts.

The Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), with financial support from the Clean Cooling Collaborative (CCC), have announced the establishment of the National Technical Committee on Scaling-Up Energy Efficiency and Climate-Friendly Cooling in Nigeria! Led by Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, Director General of ECN, the Committee aims to accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient air conditioners with low-GWP refrigerants across residential, commercial, and public buildings in Nigeria. Bringing together experts from diverse fields, the Committee serves as a collaborative platform for knowledge sharing and strategy development to scale up sustainable cooling practices nationwide  Recently convened in Abuja, the Committee reviewed its workplan for 2024, emphasising alignment with Nigeria's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to combat climate change. This shift underscores ECN and UNEP's commitment to advancing climate-friendly solutions in Nigeria, contributing significantly to the country's climate resilience and sustainability. As the project progresses, collaborative efforts within the committee will be instrumental in navigating challenges and driving positive change in Nigeria's cooling practices. #climateactionnow #energyefficiency #climateaction #sustainability #innovation #collaboration #climatesolutions #climateresilience #sustainablefuture
