Climate Action Policies, Strategies and Programming in Southern Africa
In response to the persistent existential threats and human development challenges caused by the climate crisis, all countries in Southern Africa have become party to numerous international climate governance agreements, protocols and action plans. Currently, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (1992), United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (2015) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (2016) which is “a legally binding international treaty on climate change” (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 2016:1) are the principal international agreements that Southern African countries are party to. Notwithstanding their limitations, the primary principle of these international conventions is the creation and maintenance of a global platform that coordinates mitigation, adaptation and resilience building guided by common but differentiated responsibility norms. These principles also underpin other international climate governance protocols such as the Montreal Protocol (1987), highly contentious Kyoto Protocol (1997) and ancillary climate governance treaties that include the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (1987), Convention on Biological Diversity (1994) and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015), among others. Even though these international agreements are not perfect due to their discredited neoliberal orientation and conception of the causes, impacts and solutions to the climate crisis, their worth is in the mapping and articulation of a global climate action vision. In an attempt to actualize this global vision, Southern African countries have in their own unique ways designed, adopted, adapted and implemented numerous climate action policies, strategies and action plans with varying degrees of success and more frequent outright failure. In this chapter, we unpack and analyse selected climate laws, policies, strategies and action plans of Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, South Africa and Zimbabwe with a view to understanding the extent to which they are pathways towards social and climate justice. By any measure, this overview is not an exhaustive analysis of all climate policies, strategies and action plans of the case study countries. Rather, a selection of the most relevant for our analysis was chosen to paint a broad picture of the state of climate injustice as the climate crisis continues to unfold.
