National Climate Change Information System
The Climate Change Information System is part of the national effort to track South Africa’s overall transition to a low carbon and climate resilient economy by offering a series of decision support tools to inform policy and decision-making. The system monitors and evaluates climate change drivers, events, links to national objectives, targets and strategies in respect of climate change mitigation and adaptation monitoring and assessment of actions taken by stakeholders.
