What can a study tour across South Africa's coal heartland teach us about just transition...
On October 14-15, 2024, over 100 coal region stakeholders gathered in Pretoria, South Africa, for the 2024 International Forum for Coal Regions in Transition, organised by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit as part of the IKI JET project.
Delegates had the chance to learn from South Africa’s just transition experiences, guided by a varied group of local speakers who emphasised the importance of economic diversification and community engagement across coal-dependent regions like Mpumalanga.
In turn, stakeholders from Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, among others, shared insights and challenges from their respective coal regions.
