In the current international scenario defined by the impending climate crisis, the South African parliamentary group has stepped up by actively involving themselves in the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28). Spearheaded by the National Assembly’s Speaker, Ms. Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, the delegation not only features notable figures like Mr. Cedric Frolick, Mr. Jomo Nyambi, Ms. Pemmy Majodina, Ms. Nqabisa Gantsho, Ms. Tebogo Modise, Mr. David Bryant, and Mr. Mlindi Nhanha, but also embodies the collective resolve of South Africa’s Parliament to tackle this critical issue.
COP28, an essential forum for national entities to conjure up strategies to combat the climate crisis, offers an exclusive chance for these parliamentarians to exhibit their leadership and commitment. The conference’s goal spans beyond promoting interaction and deliberation; it also seeks to amplify the parliamentary engagement in climate change policies and actions.
The group partook in numerous dialogues and key sessions, signifying Parliament’s resolute dedication to mitigating the pressing worldwide climate crisis. They attended the Climate Parliament session at the First Collection Business Bay Hotel in Dubai, centering on the Global Stocktake, an insightful assessment of climate progress.
The delegates also took part in a World Bank-orchestrated session titled “How DFIs Can Foster Private Investment in Sustainable Infrastructure.” This discussion aimed to cultivate sustainable investment opportunities leading to a more environmentally-friendly future. Such initiatives showcase the delegation’s proactive role in pursuing solutions that correlate with global sustainability objectives.
Mr. Cedric Frolick, the National Assembly’s House Chairperson for Committees, Oversight, and ICT, earned a feather in the delegation’s cap by featuring as a speaker in a dialogue organized by Globe – the Global Legislators Organisation. The dialogue, named “Remaking Sustainable Trade for a Climate Safe Future,” took place at the Dubai Expo Centre and highlighted strategies for promoting sustainable trade practices.
Beyond their participation in these dialogues, the Speaker and some Parliament Members will partake in a parliamentary meeting hosted by the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the Federal National Council of the United Arab Emirates. These interactions serve as enriching opportunities for the members to exchange views, learn from international best practices, and engage in constructive conversation.
