German and South African Organizations Launch Project for Just Energy Transition
The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung South Africa and the Sam Tambani Research Institute have launched the Strengthening Workers’ Active Participation in South Africa’s Just Transition project. This initiative aims to empower workers and communities in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo to negotiate a fair transition from coal to renewable energy. The project, co-funded by the EU, will run for two years and focuses on training workers, community members, and local officials to engage in transition strategies. It also aims to develop gender-just demands and policy proposals for the energy sector.
