Alliances for Climate Action South Africa connects 40 companies, investors and local governments to work with each other and with their national government to collectively achieve a decarbonized economy by 2050. The Alliance includes major cities such as Cape Town, Durban (Ethekwini), Johannesburg and Tshwane; and domestic and multinational companies including Intelligent Transport Society, Vodacom and Virgin Active, among others. National partner organizations supporting the members of the Alliance include C40, NBI, and WWF South Africa

Members commit to produce plans that show how each will achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and use their influence to advocate for policy that supports an economy-wide decarbonization by 2050.
