National Treasury has published a white paper outlining a proposed framework to guide South African financial institutions in developing and disclosing their climate transition plans.
The framework aims to help banks, insurers, asset managers and other financial institutions better understand and manage climate-related risks, while supporting South Africa’s transition towards a more sustainable economy.
It also provides guidance on how institutions can incorporate climate considerations into their business strategies, investment decisions and risk management processes.
Interested parties are invited to submit comments by 10 December 2026.
