05 Dec 2024

This report outlines the Presidential Climate Commission’s recommendations for the creation of a Climate Change Response Fund (CCRF) to strengthen South Africa’s resilience to climate change. It proposes a strategic financing model to close adaptation funding gaps, support vulnerable communities, and enhance disaster preparedness and response. The CCRF will integrate with existing climate finance initiatives and adopt innovative mechanisms to mobilize public, private, and international funding. Designed with robust governance structures, the fund aims to drive systemic, high-impact adaptation investments and position South Africa as a global leader in climate resilience.
