JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Friday the country will require about 1.5 trillion rand ($84 billion) over next 5 years to meet targets in transitioning from coal to renewable energy.
Going forward, much more money will be needed," Ramaphosa told a meeting of the presidential climate commission, citing the country's climate investment plan.
Last year the United States, European Union, Britain, France and Germany committed to investing $8.5 billion over three to five years to help Africa's most industrialised nation reduce its carbon emissions, which are among the world's highest because it depends on coal for the majority of its electricity.
The plan is meant to help the country shut down polluting smokestacks and coal mines and re-purpose their locations for solar panels and wind farms - and eventually electric vehicle and green hydrogen production.

The ANC wants an order of more money as a starting point than what the West has offered. The off shore banks must salivating at more money coming there way. No idea how much US money went to Kiev thrn laundered to Switzerland or the Caymans.
It appears that the evirodildoes in the west know exactly who the REAL POLLUTERS ARE even though they blame everything on America and want American taxpayers to pay for the extortion by the third world polluters. Enviroreparations. ROTFL! Don’t Do Drugs.
Leftists love “transitioning” in more ways than one.
Anybody want to guess where that money would be coming from? Hint. It’s a country that’s currently run by White-hating marxists. Need another clue? A country with a decrepit old fool at the helm.
I heard a Global Number yesterday 163 Trillion
Dumbassery! Climate is gonna change free. 😕🐂💩
Bunk, I be saying.
Fools and dictators. Man cannot control climate.
They aren’t suffering enough as it is?
Rooters and Me-So-Naughty can go screw themselves. Africa can solve their own problems. They got rid of Apartheid, didn’t they?
Not one more DIME. November 8th. BE THERE!
So... The Big Guy's cut was what? 10%? DOKTOR Jill gonna be the richest aged Beach Bunny on the planet after she puts Joe in "The Home."
Yeah, how much of that “1.5 trillion rand ($84 billion)” will go straight into old Cyril’s pocket.
And I have complete confidence every penny will go to the cause of our environment! /sarc
