Ramaphosa affirms climate goal despite coal push | Business

Ramaphosa met with the Presidential Climate Change Commission on Wednesday. This follows an electricity colloquium held on Friday, where recommendations for the country's electricity planning were discussed. These recommendations take into account the need to limit carbon emissions and short-term measures to address the electricity crisis, and involved extensive consultations with communities and other stakeholders.

A later statement from government said that Cabinet had noted the minister's plan and requested a more detailed assessment and an outline of solutions to address the country's energy crisis, without providing further detail. The president also reiterated his plan to accelerate renewable-energy projects, Olver said.

Ramaphosa set up the commission to advise him and to help formulate policies to cope with the effects of climate change. Still, among a swath of recommendations, the commission said the investment plan was woefully short on how much money would be spent on re-skilling coal miners and cushioning coal-dependent communities from the impact of a switch to green energy."Consultation has been undertaken late in the planning process, and social justice issues appear to be addressed as an afterthought rather than a central premise," the commission said, citing its stakeholder engagements.
