Summary of South Africa's 2017 National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report (Published 2021)
This document is the Imprint and Acknowledgements section of the 7th National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report for South Africa, covering the inventory year 2017 and published in August 2021. The report was compiled by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) with contributions from numerous sector compilers and technical experts. Its purpose is to detail South Africa's greenhouse gas emissions and removals for the year 2017, serving as a key component of national and international climate change reporting obligations. The scope of the inventory covers emissions and removals across four main sectors: Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU), and Waste. Data for the report was provided by a wide range of government departments, state-owned entities, research institutions, and international organizations, including the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), Eskom, Sasol, PetroSA, Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD), Statistics South Africa (StatsSA), Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS), FAO, World Bank, and the UN. Funding for the AFOLU sector inventory and the overall report compilation was provided by GIZ. While this excerpt details the compilation process and contributors, it does not specify the particular regulations or statutes mandating the report, nor does it list specific deadlines or compliance dates beyond the August 2021 publication date. This report aligns with the description of a National Inventory Report from South Africa published in 2021, as mentioned in the human-written summary.
