NBI Member and Business Briefing: Unpacking the Just Energy Transition Investment Plan (Jet IP)

South Africa has committed to shifting from one of the most carbon-intensive economies in the world to a leading net- zero, resilient economy. However, for this to happen, the country needs to rapidly transition its energy outlook. At the United Nations main climate change conference (COP27) on 7 November 2022, President Cyril Ramaphosa launched the new Just Energy Transition Investment Plan (JET IP). The JET IP is the first of its kind, detailing how South Africa proposes to use the $8.5-billion that the European Union (EU) and several developed nations have pledged, towards the country’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

Together with our esteemed colleagues at the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC), the National Business Initiative (NBI) invites you to join us for a tailored briefing which will focus on unpacking the JET IP on 10 February 2023. The JET IP is a remarkable example of the power of collective action in driving climate ambition and investment.

South African business must stand together behind a net-zero and resilient economy and continue to work collaboratively with Government and other actors to drive this shift.
