In Conversation with Simiso Velempini and Rudi Dicks: Advancing a Low-Carbon, Inclusive, and Resilient Economy

This discussion delves into the efforts of the Office of the Presidency in driving South Africa’s transition toward a low-carbon, socially inclusive, and climate-resilient economy.

A key focus of the conversation is the progress of the partnership between the governments of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, alongside the European Union, in supporting a just transition. The discussion will provide valuable insights into the development of financing mechanisms and facilities designed to channel international climate finance into South Africa’s priority sectors—electricity, electric vehicles, and green hydrogen.
