The report evaluates South Africa's sustainability transition, arguing that the green economy is often treated as a sector rather than an economy-wide transformation. It critiques the 2011 Green Economy Accord as a 'public relations exercise' due to a lack of enforcement and monitoring, while praising the Socio-Economic Impact Assessment System (SEIAS) for improving the inter-disciplinary nature of policymaking despite internal capacity constraints.

• The New Growth Plan and the Industrial Policy Action Plan treat the green economy as a specific sector instead of an economy-wide transformation.
• The 2011 Green Economy Accord failed to create a meaningful social compact because it avoided controversial topics, focused primarily on energy and technology, and lacked enforcement mechanisms and implementation plans.
• The New Growth Path (NGP) aimed to create five million new jobs by 2020, with a specific target of 300,000 additional direct jobs in the green economy by 2020 and over 400,000 by 2030, including 80,000 in manufacturing.
• The Socio-Economic Impact Assessment System (SEIAS), implemented from June 1, 2015, has improved policymaking by requiring the analysis of impacts on social cohesion, security, economic inclusion, economic growth, and environmental sustainability, though it currently lacks stakeholder involvement.
