Extract
Three years prior to the South African JETP announcement, Meridian Economics, a small South African think tank and advisory group, embarked on a three-year programme of work to conceptualise and socialise the ‘Just Transition Transaction’ (JTT), a large-scale climate finance transaction to unlock and support South Africa’s just energy transition. Working in a pre-JETP context, the JTT experience yields rich learnings for developed and developing countries wishing to embark on a JETP journey. These learnings come both from the process of advocating a large climate finance support mechanism both within South Africa and internationally, and from the technical design side.
