President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed new commissioners to the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC), says PCC executive director and commissioner-designate Dorah Modise.

“As we undertake this renewed mandate, we remain cognisant that PCC integrity and convening power depends on the continued engagement of diverse sectors of our society in shaping climate and development policy.

“We remain committed to the creation of a just and equitable society working together with all partners to a just transition that leaves no one behind,” she says.

She adds that Ramaphosa's well-informed and guided decision on the appointment of the diverse leaders of society and communities will help to drive and guide South Africa's just transition journey and climate action efforts.

The PCC was established in 2020 as a multistakeholder body to advise on South Africa’s climate change response measures, as well as just transition development pathways and interventions to a low-emissions, climate-resilient economy and society.

The new commissioners will serve for a period of five years from January 1 this year to December 31, 2030.

The new commissions are Dr Phindile Masangane, Dr Ntombifuthi Nxumalo, Ndiambani Magadagela, Shaameela Soobramoney, Dr Sarushen Pillay, Catherine Constantinides, Tracy-Lynn Field, Khungeka Njobe, Zaynab Sadan, Dr Dipak Patel, Dr Zwanani Titus Mathe, Kenalemang Phukuntsi, Dr Nasiphi Moya, Dr Muhammad Ridwaan Gallant, Cecil Monnanyana Mahlangu, Neo Mononelo Mopeli, Thandile Zonke, Errol Andile Mlambo, Professor Imraan Valodia, Professor Azwihangwisi Edward Nesamvuni, Joanne Yawitch, Boitumelo Molete, Brandin Abdinor, Waheed Hoosen and Shamini Harrington.
