POLICY
Our Policy and Research Programme follows national and international policy processes related to energy and climate change. We undertake research to make knowledge accessible and build capacity within our constituents, and actively creates spaces and opportunities that foster collaborative work to achieve a just energy transition in South Africa.
South Africa is a country richly endowed with natural resources, these resources are being disgustingly exploited. In light of the ever-changing climate the world shifts towards more climate resilient and sustainable practices. As such the current focus of our work is to advocate for a Just Energy Transition.
Our Activities
Submissions and Publications
We monitor and engage energy and climate change policy, and submit suggestions and comments to hold policy makers to account for their decisions when it comes to South Africa’s energy system and the country’s mitigation and adaptation commitments.
Energy Governance South Africa
Project 90 by 2030 is the secretariat of the Energy Governance South Africa Network. Energy Governance South Africa (EGSA) is a network of civil society organisations dedicated to promoting transparent, inclusive and accountable decision-making in the energy sector. EGSA is a committed group of justice-oriented organisations and individuals focused on energy policy, planning and governance who meet regularly for working sessions, and in addition have frequent substantive discussions with key energy planners and stakeholders.
Networks and Coalitions
Project 90 by 2030 believes that through collaboration that we can achieve a just and equitable future for all. As such we engage and support networks and coalitions, such as: Climate Action Network South African, The Climate Justice Coalition, The Adaptation Network, The Climate Justice Charter Movement, African Climate Alliance, and more.
Development of Accessible and Transparent Information
We undertake research and engage with civil society, coalitions, independent researchers and government to make information transparent and accessible. Through the dissemination of this information we encourage active participation and engagement of civil society in decision-making processes.
Just Energy Transition
Since 2016, Project 90 by 2030 has engaged the concept of a Just Energy Transition. We recognise the need to move from the current monopolised fossil fuel dominated system, without room for meaningful engagement, to a participatory renewable energy system with inclusive decision making processes. We continue our work in the space with a specific focus on energy poverty and building capacity in our constituents to advocate for a just energy transition.
