ACF’s Director and the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) CEO on what SA should argue for at the #G7 summit and beyond? “First, SA needs to emphasise the centrality of the Paris Agreement to reinforce the importance of multilateralism. At the same time, SA should recognise that climate diplomacy’s range needs to be expanded, in an integrated fashion with other interests, to other forums where key decisions on the future of decarbonisation are being made outside the Paris Agreement process.”“Second, greater ambition in SA’s domestic climate action targets, beyond what we can afford with domestic resources, must be reciprocated by a comprehensive economic package that removes some of the binding constraints relating to access and cost of finance.Third, the G7 summit must be a first step to developing an integrated whole-of-government approach to climate diplomacy to advance SA’s economic and social imperatives in achieving a just energy transition. This can be taken forward to the G20 deliberations later this year and the German presidency of the G7 next year.Fourth, SA’s chairing of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment this year provides it with the platform to advocate for Africa’s concerns in this realm and on the road to COP 27, which will be held in Africa next year.More broadly SA can champion an alliance of coal-dependent economies around a transition dialogue and mechanism as part of a global collective strategy to retire coal within developing economies. It should also emphasise that “stranded assets” that will have significant cost for many developing economies may necessitate a special accelerated coal retirement fund.”https://businesslive.co.za/bd/opinion/… ...
