The Paris Agreement, with its ambition to limit the increase in
global average temperatures to 1.5°C, and the subsequently
published Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) on Global Warming of 1.5°C, propelled
the City of Johannesburg onto a more ambitious climate
change course. This more ambitious course is presented in
this Climate Action Plan (CAP), which sets the target of a
net-zero emissions and resilient city by 2050.
