The Western Cape Government is driving its Growth For Jobs strategy, pushing for net-zero emissions through stronger energy resilience. Alongside this, its Climate Change Response Strategy: Vision 2050 lays out a pathway to net zero across emissions, biodiversity, and climate-resilient development. Through Freeport Saldanha, Wesgro, and the Department of Economic Development, the province has also adopted a Green Hydrogen Strategy, positioning the West Coast as a regional green-hydrogen hub. Aligned with global and national climate goals, the West Coast Industrial Hub is steering the region toward a net-zero future.
