WWF SOUTH AFRICA STRATEGY 2030

This document outlines 'Impact Goal 2' of the WWF South Africa Strategy 2030, which focuses on unlocking an economic transition to decouple human development from harmful environmental impacts. The strategy identifies climate and energy, food and fibre, and water as primary entry points for change, utilizing three pathways: influencing policy and governance, reshaping market practices, and aligning financial policy and practice.

• WWF South Africa aims to decouple human development from environmental harm by influencing drivers at international, national, and local levels, specifically targeting the sectors of climate and energy, food and fibre, and water.
• The strategy's approach to policy and governance involves using science-based thought leadership, scenario planning, and case studies to demonstrate the possibility of decoupling economic growth from environmental damage, while prioritizing equity, justice, and the voices of vulnerable populations.
• To influence market practices, WWF will collaborate with the finance, forestry, food and beverage, and retail sectors to create resilient value chains and circular economic approaches, focusing on specific commodities such as seafood, wool, meat, wine, nuts, fruit, and forestry products.
• WWF intends to work with financial regulators and institutions to address climate change and biodiversity loss as systemic risks to financial stability, encouraging alignment with net-zero emission targets, UN Green & Blue Finance Principles, and disclosure frameworks like TCFD and TNFD.
