— is a technical assistanceprogram funded by the German government and led by IFC, in partnership with theWorld Bank (WB) and national stakeholders. It aims to harness the financialsector in targeted countries to considerably scale up private sector financingfor climate mitigation and adaptation projects in line with Nationally DeterminedContribution (NDC) targets. The global 30 by 30 program is being implemented inEgypt, Mexico, the Philippines, and South Africa, from 2021 to 2027.
Under 30 by 30 South Africa,the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) of South Africa and IFC have partneredon a project to deliver targeted climate finance market intelligence (includingsupply, demand, barriers, risks) and harmonization support to strengthen theeffectiveness of national climate finance policy and accelerate lendingoutcomes, such as by enabling investors (including development financeinstitutions and institutional investors), banks and other market actors(including municipalities and the insurance sector) to scale theirparticipation in climate-related finance to achieve South Africa’s JustTransition objectives.
PCC is an independent,statutory, multi-stakeholder body established by South Africa’s President CyrilRamaphosa in 2020 with the purpose of overseeing and facilitating a just andequitable transition towards a low-emissions and climate-resilient economy inSouth Africa. The 2024 Climate Change Act mandates the PCC to advise on thecountry’s vision for just transitions to a low-carbon and climate-resilienteconomy and society.
In 2020, PCC commissionedGreenCape, the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship, andthe Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) to deliver a report on the landscape ofclimate finance in South Africa. The first report was published in 2021,followed by subsequent reports in 2023 and 2025.
This landscape report hasbecome a key source of current market intelligence and practical recommendationsto inform a just transition to a low-carbon economy. South Africa’s 2025 NDC
[1]
states that “
based on the 2023 South African Climate Finance LandscapeReport prepared by the Presidential Climate Commission, South Africa willdevelop a results management framework with key performance indicators to trackclimate finance access and mobilization, including
·
