“How can China help South Africa achieve a just transition?” by Deng Yaowen in China Dialogue
In South Africa and across the continent, calls for a ‘just energy transition’ are now louder than those concerned with jobs for workers in fossil fuel industries.
South Africa joined the UK, the US, France, Germany and the EU on 2 November to announce the ambitious International Just Energy Transition Partnership. Over the coming five years, the partnership will provide around US$8.5 billion in multilateral and bilateral grants and concessional loans to assist South Africa in achieving its low-carbon transition goals.
