The Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) is a multi-stakeholder body established by the President of the Republic of South Africa to advise on the country’s climate change response and pathways to a low-carbon climate-resilient economy and society.
TIPS research for the PCC included the technical report:
Technical Report No. 1: A Review of local and international policy debates (Muhammel Patel)
Five working papers that provide an evidence-based foundation for a new Framework for a Just Transition - a practical guide to ensure that South Africa’s transition to a low-emissions economy is well-managed, just, and equitable. The Framework will also build on existing just transition debates in the country, the vision set out by the National Planning Commission, and a new series of thematic and social-partner consultations that will gather a diverse range of views on what it means to achieve a just transition.
This paper looks at Unemployment and sustainable livelihoods: Just Transition interventions in the face of inequality (Nokwando Maseko)
Other working papers:
Policy primers for a South African Just Transition framework (Gaylor Montmasson-Clair)
The Just Transition in coal (Neva Makgetla)
Governance and the Just Transition (Neva Makgetla)
Finance and the Just Transition (Sandy Lowitt)
