Abstract
The paper reviews previous work at national and sectoral level. Previous work on mitigation potential included the LTMS, on consideration of which Cabinet outlined its vision and strategic direction for emissions to peak, plateau and decline. Previous work directly on carbon budgets was commissioned by WWF, outlining the approach for a low-carbon action plan. The report suggested an important principle for allocation, namely that sectors should motivate for their share of the NCB based on the best used, in particular the most carbon-effective contribution to South Africa’s development needs. The paper examines analytical tools based on work in South Africa, to model the energy economy as a system.
