The presidential palace of South Africa published an open letter from South African President ramafossa to all citizens on the 3rd. Ramafossa said that South Africa is committed to making due contributions to addressing global climate change.

Ramafossa pointed out that due to climate change, the South African people are experiencing various adverse effects brought by extreme weather such as floods, which is reflected in the daily life of the South African people, including areas of concern to the South African people such as electricity, water supply, employment, housing and food security, thus directly affecting the sustainable development of South Africa.

Ramafossa stressed that in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in addition to the corresponding countermeasures formulated by the central government of South Africa, local governments in South Africa also need to respond positively and make necessary work in areas such as urban planning, new energy, waste recycling and wastewater utilization. According to lamafossa, at present, including the Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal province, new energy has been introduced as a pilot in power generation and other industries to reduce the use of fossil fuels and accelerate the realization of the goal of "clean energy economy".

Ramafossa promised that the South African government will continue to improve air quality. For example, for the communities near the industrial park, the South African government will formulate more strict and detailed air quality standards to effectively improve the overall air quality in South Africa.

In conclusion, ramafossa reiterated that while developing countries, including South Africa, are committed to contributing to global gasification change, developed countries also have the responsibility to provide necessary assistance to developing countries. "Every decision we make will have an impact on the environment, and South Africa hopes to play its due role in combating climate change," he said
