This discussion paper presents the challenge of decarbonising entire economies of South Africa which is fossil-fuel-based and emission-intensive. Any mitigation strategy thus has to be carefully designed. The energy sector is a vital part of the economy and at the same time contributes most to South Africa

At Copenhagen, Denmark, on 15th Dec 09, addressing the assembled delegates, Ministers and Heads of State at the high-level segment of the conference, Yvo de Boer stressed that now is the time to deliver:
This UN report leaked from the Copenhagen climate talks suggests that global temperature will rise by an average of 3 degree celsius even if all the emission cuts offered so far are implemented. Is based on the most recent emission scenarios presented in the IEA 2009 World Energy Outlook and information from Parties on pledges, voluntary actions and policy goals.
This report draws attention in countries that are particularly vulnerable to climate change. While producing the smallest amount of greenhouse gases, Africa is one of the continents most vulnerable to climate change, and with the greatest lack of adaptive capacity. Burundi and Somalia, which are the focus in the report, are considered among the ten most vulnerable countries in the world.
