  2. Build an evidence base: To inform planning, prioritize data-collection mechanisms, including urgently setting up mandatory monitoring, evaluation and reporting processes for all relevant stakeholders. • Monitor, report and verifyto understand South Africa’s progress against national goals of the envisaged economy and society To formulate effective responses to climate change, South Africa needs a country-wide monitoring systemto measure climate variables at scales appropriate to the institutions that must implement climate change responses The Mandate

  3. OVERALL OBJECTIVE: To track South Africa’s transition to a lower-carbon economy and climate-resilient society: • Cross-cutting: • One-stop shop for climate change information in South Africa • Climate-resilience: • Provide evidence base of the impact of climate change 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 Finance: • Track the use, impact & effectiveness of funds in climate change response • Support the identification of resource requirements, allocation & opportunities Objectives of the CC M&E System

  4. Climate change (CC) response & impact information • From: • Public & private databases • Project owners & implementers (government, private sector & NGOs) • Research institutions, etc. CC Response M&E System Biennial update report Web-based M&E platform 1. Climate change risks, impacts & vulnerability 2. Adaptation M&E 3. Mitigation & emissions M&E 4. Climate finance M&E Annual climate change report Establishes and support data flows and data management for the compilation of GHG inventories. National Greenhouse Gas Inventory System (NGHGIS) National Green House Gas Inventory Report National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory System (NAEIS) National Greenhouse Gas Inventory GHG emissions & sinks activity data From companies, installations, land-use maps, etc. The Climate Change M&E System

  5. System Scope: Main Page Climate Research Adaptation

  6. The web-based CC M&E SYSTEM

  7. South Africa’s National GHG Information System

  8. South African Approach Desired Adaptation Outcomes (DAOs) for M&E climate resilience National CC Response White Paper 2011 South African Climate Resilience M&E National Development Plan 2030 National, Sectoral & Local Plans National Adaptation Strategy Adaptation Goals in SA’s NDC

  9. Output of the CC M&E System

  10. TOP-DOWN MONITORING: - Tracking flows from source or implementing agency - Public spend, bilateral, multilateral, etc. Tracking CLIMATE FINANCE - summary • To provide an overview of the landscape of climate finance supporting the country’s transition to a lower-carbon and climate-resilient society • To understand the resource needs for funding South Africa’s climate response actions • Tracking and monitoring the impact or contribution of funds deployed towards climate actions – successes and failures • To provide an estimate of the degree to which other funds have been leveraged by public finance • To help promote a country approach when mobilising financial resources CC M&E system Database BOTTOM-UP MONITORING: - Tracking flows at project-level together with mitigation & adaptation monitoring

  11. National Public Fiscus Multilateral Bi-lateral Private Multilateral Databases Requests to Embassies OECD Research Collaborative project MoU with NT Web-based M&E SYSTEM DATABASE ??? • Mitigation Indicators: • Mitigation impact • Co-benefits • Effectiveness: • = CO2e / Cost Requests Capacity building Research Awareness Policy / Strat dev. Programme level – mitigation & adaptation

  12. National System for GHG inventory • MRV guidelines • Desired Adaptation Outcomes • Institutional arrangements (M, A, F) • Carbon tax Verification of GHG emissions to support Carbon tax • National Atmospheric Emission Information System – reporting tool of emissions by the industry • GHG Reporting regulations • GHG Technical guidelines • Web-based CC M&E system Methodological Tools to support CC M&E system

  13. The objectives of these climate change annual reports are: • To recognise, profile and showcase climate change actions in South Africa • To broaden the understanding of impact, effectiveness, lessons learnt and gaps of climate change actions so as to better understand the context and progress towards South Africa’s transition towards a lower carbon economy and a climate resilient society. Main output of the CC M&E System

  14. NDC target 614 96 MtCO2e (2020; 583) NDC target South African Peak, Plateau and Decline.
