Join us for the public launch of three new reports produced by the Alternative Information and Development Centre. Developed in collaboration with grassroots activists and trade unions, these three reports critically examine the state of South Africa’s just energy transition:
The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) and the Just Energy Transition Investment Plan (JET-IP) promised job creation, local economic development, social protection and effective decarbonisation that would not risk South Africa’s energy security. Through surveys, interviews, participatory action research and extensive field work across Mpumalanga province, these reports expose how the government’s model of an energy transition is taking South Africa nowhere slowly.
Each report dives into a specific zone of the just energy transition, revealing how a neoliberal vision of decarbonisation and an agenda of green structural adjustment, which places profits over people, will not meet people’s material needs or increase South Africa’s ability to confront the climate crisis.
