The end of coal? Planning a just transition in South Africa

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Energy Research Centre examines the potential significant decline of coal production in South Africa over the next five to ten years and the requirements for ensuring a "just transition."

• The report investigates the challenges and impacts associated with a potential significant decline in South African coal production, which may occur over the next five to ten years.
• The research is based on a September 2018 workshop in Tshwane and interviews conducted between 10 and 19 September 2018 in Gauteng and Mpumalanga with a range of stakeholders, including public officials from the departments of Energy, Trade and Industry, Economic Development, and Environmental Affairs, as well as state-owned enterprises Eskom and Transnet.
• Stakeholders identified several critical areas for a just transition, including economic and political impacts, economic development alternatives, institutional arrangements, and environmental impacts resulting from the industry's decline.
