1. Climate Change and Air Quality South Africa’s Climate Change M&E System

2. OVERALL OBJECTIVE: To track South Africa’s transition to a lower-carbon economy and climate-resilient society:  Cross-cutting: Inform responses to climate change – Scope of measures, their effectiveness, etc. Provide learning – for response programme managers, for experts, for students, for policy- makers, for researchers, etc. Institutionalize reporting of South Africa’s reporting obligations under the UNFCCC Inform SA negotiators under the UNFCCC One-stop shop for climate change information in South Africa  Lower-carbon: Assess SA’s performance against the National Emissions Trajectory range (PPD) Assess the implementation of DEROs & carbon budgets, including mitigation impact, implementation progress, cost, jobs created & wider SD benefits  Climate-resilience: Provide evidence base of the impact of climate change in South Africa  Climate Finance: Track the use, impact & effectiveness of funds in climate change response Support the identification of resource requirements, allocation & opportunities 1.
