Let’s get to legal work on climate change mitigation
Let’s get to legal work on climate change mitigation
This will give legal effect to the country’s proposed Mitigation System, which includes elements such as company-level ‘carbon budgets’ (greenhouse gas emissions allowances), carbon offsets, potentially carbon trading, and compliance mechanisms.
WWF has made input on the Mitigation System and the Legal Framework – and gone a step further in providing actual legal text that can provide a concrete starting point. WWF’s approach of providing solutions, not just critiques, means we enjoy excellent uptake in the policy arena.
This document contains two illustrative regulations that we suggest are a cut-and-paste solution into a legal framework to implement and manage company carbon budgets. They are companion pieces which should be read together – Carbon Budget Regulations and Mitigation Plan Regulations. These illustrative regulations are drafted in a way that they can either be promulgated under the existing National Environment Management Act: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004, or a new standalone climate change law.
