The ministerial meeting was held ahead of the 8th Ministerial on Climate Action(MoCA) Meeting held in China on the 22nd - 23rd July 2024.

Notwithstanding these challenges, George went on to affirm South Africa’s plan of action, obligations and commitments to achieve its continental and UFCCC undertakings in the fight against climate change.
