Rich nations add to SA climate loan
The Citizen|November 11, 2024
The head of France's state development bank expects other development finance institutions to add to a €400 million (about R7.5 billion) climate loan for South Africa that partners will likely sign within days.

The funds are part of a $9.3 billion (about R172 billion) climate-finance pact agreed between SA and some of the world's richest countries in 2021 to help cut its reliance on coal, which accounts for four-fifths of its electricity generation.

Germany's KfW development bank matched a €300 million loan by France's Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD) made in 2022 as part of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).
