Greenpeace Africa says it wants to see 50% of South Africa’s power grid renewable. The NGO unveiled its ‘Energy Manifesto’ in Richmond, Johannesburg, on Tuesday.
Greenpeace campaigner, Shanaaz Nel has challenged the South African government and political parties to explain about how they are going to implementation of their energy manifestos.
Energy is an integral part of the SA economy, Nel says.
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, with far reaching implications for millions of people around the world, including Africa, whose livelihoods are affected by severe weather and related conditions. The need for more global awareness, cooperation and urgent action is therefore critical.
