Last year we committed ourselves to implementing an environment sector green economy implementation plan through local and international partnerships with green investments, supported by domestic funding from the National Treasury's Green Fund, as well as international funding through bilateral co-operation programmes and multilateral facilities such as the World Bank Clean Technology Fund and the newly established Green Climate Fund. It is envisaged that we will utilise this fund as a catalyst to attract new and additional investment to stimulate job creation and lay the foundation for South Africa's transition to a low-carbon and job-creating economy.
