Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment

I, Barbara Dallas Creecy, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, hereby in terms of regulation 5(4) and 7(5) of the National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting Regulations 2016, as amended, give notice regarding the manual registration of data providers and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions for the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 reporting cycles. Data providers must register and report greenhouse gas emissions data and information manually using the templates attached to the Schedule hereto.

The reasons for manual registration of data providers and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions is that the South African Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting System (SAGERS) will no longer be used for registration and reporting during the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 reporting cycles due to planned system upgrades.

Data providers must submit the reports as per the stipulated timeframes in the National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting Regulations 2016, as amended, by email to: [email protected]

Any inquiries in connection with this Notice can be directed to Mr Jongikhaya Witi, the Chief Director: Climate Change Mitigation and Specialist Monitoring Services on Cell: 0674173831, Tel: 0123999048, Email: [email protected]
