South Africa Establishes an Inclusive Process Toward a Just Transition, with Broad Stakeholder Engagement

The document describes how South Africa's Presidential Climate Commission (PCC), situated within the Presidency, facilitates a just transition through a multi-stakeholder approach involving government, business, labor, civil society, and traditional leadership. It highlights the development of the Just Transition Framework, adopted by the Cabinet in August 2022, which was created through extensive evidence gathering, public workshops, community consultations, and expert essays to ensure the process was inclusive and tailored to those most impacted by the shift from fossil fuel-based economies.

• The Presidential Climate Commission (PCC), established in 2020, is designed to oversee South Africa's just transition through three primary characteristics: its location within the Presidency for cross-cutting government influence, a membership comprising all major stakeholder groups to build consensus, and a commitment to transparency and community engagement.
• The Just Transition Framework, adopted by the South African Cabinet in August 2022, provides the shared vision, principles, policies, and governance needed to coordinate just transition planning.
• The development of the Just Transition Framework involved a comprehensive inclusive process between 2021 and 2022, including policy briefs, public workshops, in-person community consultations with municipalities and traditional leaders, expert essays, and written submissions from diverse groups such as youth and financial institutions.
