Project Close Out Event: Collective Climate Action with the Private Sector
May 26 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
South Africa’s industrial sector is at a critical turning point facing rising climate risks, energy constraints and increasing pressure to decarbonise, while also unlocking new opportunities for competitiveness and green growth.
We are pleased to invite you to a special event marking the end of our project focused on industrial decarbonisation and corporate climate adaptation in South Africa.
Over the past 24 months, this project with technical assistance from the GIZ, has worked with leading companies and industry associations across heavy manufacturing and corporate South Africa to explore practical pathways for decarbonisation and climate adaptation in the South African context.

Key findings on the barriers to industrial decarbonisation in South Africa including energy, economic and policy-related challenges
A pulse check on how businesses are approaching climate adaptation and resilience planning
Insights into emerging green industrialisation opportunities and business value creation
