"The Paris Agreement only works if each country is doing its fair share. Climate Action Tracker has rated South Africa’s targets as “insufficient”, projecting that if every country followed the same approach, warming would pass 2°C and could reach 3°C. The tracker states that South Africa should cut its emissions by 40% between 2022 and 2035 to do its fair share of limiting warming to 1.5°C. The current target range represents a 16% to 29% cut." https://groundup.org.za/article/sa-reaching-its-emissions-targets-but-they-too-easy/
