Continent needs to ensure it isn’t disadvantaged by the broader adoption of climate-change principles and frameworks while not deviating from the global standard

the global community is very much alive to the sustainability clock and that it is ticking loudly.

Many nations and corporates are “walking the walk” with numerous fresh commitments to coincide with the conference. In SA, President Cyril Ramaphosa last month pledged to set lower targets for greenhouse gas emissions as part of his drive to decarbonise the economy after the Presidential Climate Change Coordinating Commission called for more ambitious plans to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Many countries across the continent are grappling with challenges that, from an ESG perspective, differ from those of their counterparts in developed nations.
