# South Africa’s public and private sectors are collaborating to create an Energy Attribute Certificate system to verify, track, and trade emissions-reduction efforts. The initiative, led by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment and informed by a Meridian Economics study, aims to improve transparency in electricity emissions reporting. Experts warn that inaccurate tracking could raise carbon costs under global trade rules. The system will include certificate issuance and trading processes.
