  • Relative to the size of our population, emissions ‘per capita’ are high
  • Emissions-intensity due to dependency on coal and inefficient use of

energy

  • Share of cumulative emissions lower than annual - historical

LTMS mandate & objectives

  • LTMS is a Cabinet-mandated process for

id tif i i f iti ti f li t identifying scenarios for mitigation of climate change d b d b C

  • Led by DEAT, project managed by ERC,

independent facilitation by Tokiso

  • Two sets of key outputs:
  • Robust, broadly supported recommendations for a

, y pp long-term national climate policy

  • Sound basis for SA negotiating position for

negotiations on post-2012

  • Follow up with awareness and implementation
