PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
South Africa aims to build an environmentally sustainable, climate-resilient and low-carbon economy and ensure social equity by 2030, according to the country’s National Development Plan (NPD) 2030.
South Africa is currently one of the most carbon-intensive economies in the world, as the country remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels in the energy, industry and transport sectors. Coal accounts for 70 percent of primary energy sources, making dependence on coal a major challenge for managing the transition.
Mining is a cornerstone of the South African economy and has a significant impact on the environment and social progress in mining areas. Both operating and closed mines use ineffective closure and remediation processes that hamper potential progress.
For example, acidic mine wastewater is a major problem. Rain, surface and groundwater entering the mines dissolves leftover ore and sulphur. This creates acidic mine wastewater that damages the environment.
Objective
South Africa is working to shape a just transition to a greener, climate-resilient and low-carbon economy and a just society.
Approach
The project supports the implementation of the Just Transition Framework through various measures. These include:
-developing the financial instruments required for a just transition,
-supporting the formulation of a concrete and fair plan to build a diversified and environmentally friendly regional economy,
-planning
