Just Transition Framework Consultation Carolina, Mpumalanga

PRESIDENTIAL CLIMATE COMMISSION (PCC) HOLDS ITS SIXTH JUST TRANSITION FRAMEWORK COMMUNITY CONSULTATION IN CAROLINA, MPUMALANGA

The Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) was established in 2020 by President Cyril Ramaphosa to advise government and all social partners on the country’s climate change response and develop pathways to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy and society. As part of its work, the Commission is developing a Just Transition Framework: a multipronged practical policy strategy to guide the implementation of necessary interventions across the short-, medium, and long-term to achieve a just transition for South Africa.

The PCC commenced its work to develop the framework in late 2021 with a series of policy briefs on key questions, public dialogues, and sectoral engagements. This first set of public consultations informed the production of a draft Just Transition framework which has been published for further inputs and comments until 29th April 2022.

A cornerstone of the PCC’s 2022 work programme remains not only the development and production of the Framework, but to do that in a manner that is consultative and benefits from the views and experiences of those affected – our communities and workers.
