Summary of Mission Outcomes and PriorityRecommendations A technical assistance mission visited Statistics South Africa during October 6–10, 2025.The objectives of the mission were to discuss the next release of South Africa’sEnergy Account and to discuss methodologies related to the development of the new Air EmissionsAccount. Representatives were also invited from the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment(DFFE) and the Department of Electricity and Energy (DEE) who are directly involved in the compilationof Energy and Air Emissions Accounts for South Africa. Macro-relevant indicators related to climate change are important for evidence-basedpolicymaking. South Africa has climate change mitigation and energy transition as key policy priorities.In this context, Energy and Air Emission Accounts are key inputs for analysis of energy supply and use,pressures on climate and calculating carbon footprints. These data also support decision makingregarding carbon taxes/prices as well as understanding the effect of border carbon adjustments and willcontribute to filling gaps identified in the Data Gaps Initiative (DGI) 3. South Africa has already acommitted work plan for the compilation and release of energy accounts and has presented preliminaryresults of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) funded project at the DGI conferencehosted by the South African Reserve Bank in June 2025. Air emission accounts have been identified forimplementation in the country unde
