This fact sheet from the Centre for Environmental Rights explains the purpose and importance of the Climate Change Bill introduced in South Africa in October 2022. It outlines how the Bill aims to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, manage climate-related risks, and establish legal accountability across different levels of government to protect constitutional rights and support a low-carbon economy.

• The Climate Change Bill, introduced in October 2022, is intended to create a legal framework for South Africa to respond to climate change by protecting rights and promoting a low-carbon economy.
• The Bill has three primary objectives: regulating the reduction of global climate change through carbon budgets for individuals and businesses, managing adaptation to climate impacts such as floods, droughts, and food insecurity, and defining the responsibilities of government departments at national, provincial, and local levels.
• The document argues that the Bill is necessary to ensure government and polluters are held accountable, to protect constitutional rights from climate threats, and to potentially attract financial support through the establishment of climate laws.
• For the Bill to be effective, it must include strong penalties for those exceeding carbon budgets, clear timelines for the use of adaptation tools, and science-based regulations to ensure global warming does not exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius.
