Just Transition Community of Practice

TIPS established a Community of Practice (CoP) on the Just Transition for sub-national government officials in 2025. 

Beyond knowledge transfer, the JUST SA CoP serves as a catalyst for transformative practice at the local level by generating new insights and co-developing solutions that will enable South African municipalities and provinces to navigate the complex socio-economic and environmental dimensions of the Just Transition. Ultimately, the JUST SA CoP seeks to empower government officials to lead with confidence, strengthen institutional capacity, and deliver sustainable, inclusive outcomes for communities across South Africa.

The JUST SA CoP will also include a series of events during 2026 and 2027 on specific topics related to a Just Transition in SA, as well as an international study tour for selected alumni from our provincial training course. The purpose of the international study tour is to provide government officials with exposure to visit the best practice international projects that can provide local solutions.

This includes the establishment of an online learning platform for courses on the green economy and the just transition, just transition finance, and the role of gender inclusion in a Just Transition for SA.
