What is the Carbon Protocol of SA?

The Carbon Protocol of SA is a section 21, not-for-profit organisation, registered in April 2009. The Carbon Protocol of SA was established as a collaborative entity of concerned and interested parties within South Africa, with the aim of raising awareness and facilitating the transition to a climate resilient society, through:

1 Presenting and hosting the Climate Hero Awards (CHA) to recognise and reward African heroes working towards inclusive, low carbon economic growth, a reduction in the impact and risks of extreme weather, green options for food security and a healthy continent.

The CHA contribute significantly to inspiring and promoting awareness and action towards a low carbon economy, and thus a healthier society and a more sustainable planet.
