About JUST SA

Who is JUST SA

JUST SA supports the implementation of pathways towards a low-carbon economy and climate-resilient society, taking a multi-level approach.

At national level, the project contributes to the implementation of key policy documents and facilitates dialogue and information sharing among multiple stakeholders, ensuring an inclusive and results-orientated process.

At provincial level, the project assists stakeholders in Mpumalanga in initiating alternative development pathways for a diversified regional economy and capacitates targeted SMMEs to unlock their growth potential and gain access to finance.

At local level, activities towards a just transition are set up in selected municipalities, and affected communities and marginalised groups are empowered through inclusive bottom-up approaches to community development.

Furthermore, solutions to sustainably rehabilitate coal mining land and water are sought through research, policy implementation, and community engagement.

JUST SA aligns to key policy documents, including:
