How South Africa’s just energy transition is being threatened by corporate interests
--:--
GUEST – Tracey Davies, executive director of Just Share
For this conversation we turn the spotlight on a new and explosive report by non-profit organisation Just Share, titled “The Obstruction Playbook: How corporate lobbying threatens South Africa’s Just Transition.”
At a time when the urgency of climate action is clearer than ever, this report reveals a troubling truth: that some of South Africa’s most powerful corporate actors, particularly in the fossil fuel and mining sectors are deliberately slowing down climate policy reform. The findings raise fundamental questions about whose interests are being served as South Africa attempts to transition to a low-carbon economy.
