Urgently limiting greenhouse gas emissions is essential to avoiding the worst effects of climate change. South Africa is a party to the 2015 Paris Agreement. This required countries to set targets for greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to limit global warming to 1.5°C-2°C above pre-industrial levels. The targets set by most countries, however, are not sufficient and global emissions are still rising. Exceeding 1.5°C is very likely within the next decade.
