Pretoria, Gauteng Province – Friday, 12 July 2024

President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to inaugurate the National Treasury Climate Resilience Symposium 2024 with a keynote address on Monday, 15 July 2024. The event will take place at the CSIR International Convention Centre Auditorium in Pretoria.

The symposium, themed “Moving the needle on climate change and just transition: the role of the National Treasury,” aims to integrate climate goals into macro-fiscal and finance policy. It also seeks to enhance government coordination by mainstreaming climate change considerations into the intergovernmental fiscal system.

The three-day event will convene Ministers, Deputy Ministers, senior government officials, academia, private sector representatives, and climate experts to discuss and develop strategies for addressing climate change within the fiscal framework.

This gathering underscores the National Treasury’s commitment to addressing climate change and promoting a just transition. It is expected to be a significant platform for policy dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders.
