Members of the public had until Sunday, July 6 to comment on the national greenhouse gas inventory for South Africa for the period 2000 to 2010.
The inventory was published for public comment on June 6 in Government Gazette No 37701, the department said in a statement.
The report was compiled to meet the country's obligation to report its greenhouse emissions to international climate change bodies.
