This case study explores the key elements of just transitions in South Africa and draws lessons on how investments of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) have interacted with just transition efforts in the country. It uses an iteration of the emerging framework developed under the Just Transition Initiative — a partnership between CIF and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) — to explore the diverse perspectives and approaches of key actors involved in South Africa’s just transitions. The framework highlights the importance of considering both the distributional impacts of climate action, which includes the fair allocation of benefits and harms, and procedural elements that include the recognition of marginalized groups by including them in decision-making processes.
