The Department of Forestry, Fisheries & the Environment has gazetted proposals for giving effect to South Africa’s obligations under Article 6 of the UN Convention on Climate Change 2015 Paris Agreement. Input is sought by 21 December 2024.

In the form of a draft framework, among other things the proposals seek to provide guidance on:

• key principles and governance requirements for international offsets
• the process followed, and
• key infrastructure requirements.

This is noting that Article 6 of the Paris Agreement on international cooperation between its parties:

• enables individual party states to voluntarily use carbon markets as well as non-market approaches to implementing its nationally determined contribution to climate change mitigation, and
• to that end sets out the mix of measures a party may choose to deploy.
