Kwadukuza Low Emission Development Strategic Framework and Action Plan

An Urban Low Emission Development Strategy defines a pathway to transition a city to a low-emission, green and inclusive urban economy, through its integration into city development plans and processes.

Low emission, or low carbon development, is about meeting the development needs of the municipality while minimising its contribution to climate change, and helping it prepare for its impacts. It is about exploiting opportunities for green and clean economic growth, and creating strong local communities and businesses that can be resilient to resource and climate shocks.
A low emission future for KwaDukuza is not a “nice to have” but a basic survival strategy in a world undergoing turbulent social, economic and technological change.
