South Africa's Second Nationally Determined Contribution, 2025

South Africa's Second Nationally Determined Contribution, 2025

This Rest is Climate podcast covers South Africa’s Second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), a formal document communicated in October 2025 under the Paris Agreement. This South Africa’s NDC outlines the country’s commitments regarding mitigation, adaptation, and support for the period 2031-2035, demonstrating progression from its first NDC.

Key components include a mitigation target range for 2035 (320-380 Mt CO2-eq) and a Just Transition to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. It also details eight national adaptation goals with associated finance needs (ZAR 250 billion for adaptation between 2026–2035) and dedicates a section to addressing loss and damage from increasing climate impacts. The NDC frames its approach based on equity, national circumstances, and the need for significant international climate finance to achieve its ambitious goals.

The discussion is based on research led by the Climate Risk Lab that laid the technical foundation for and drafting of South Africa’s Second Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement, https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/2025-10/South%20Africa%27s%20second%20Nationally%20Determined%20Contribution_2025.pdf#page=2.08

评估气候变化对中国世界文化遗产的风险

这项由气候风险实验室和中国研究人员共同开展的研究,对中国39处世界文化遗产进行了全面的气候风险评估,涵盖148处具体遗址及其保护缓冲区。该研究结合专家见解和未来气候预测,揭示了到21世纪末,几乎所有被评估的遗址都将面临中度至极度风险,原因是气温上升和降水强度增加。数据尤其凸显了古代建筑结构的脆弱性,例如五台山,它们极易受到极端降雨和冻融循环的影响而发生物质退化。除了这些标志性地标之外,作者还强调,...
