The UK, through the UK-South Africa Tech Hub, and in partnership with the Future Females Business School, will help 30 South African women entrepreneurs to develop and grow GreenTech businesses, the UK High Commission announced on Monday. In its statement, the High Commission stressed Britain's commitment to assisting South Africa to transition to a low carbon economy, in order to address the issue of climate change. The UK is the incoming president of the COP26 climate change summit, to be held later this year. The internationally agreed objective, embodied in the Paris Agreement (reached at COP21 in December 2015) is to limit global warming to less than two degrees Celsius. The UK seeks to help South Africa meet its Paris Agreement obligations in an accelerated and just manner.
