South Africa should ensure WEF discussions reinforce COP27 energy transition plan – BLSA

South Africa should ensure the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting conversation in Davos, Switzerland, this week reinforces the country’s just energy transition plan, and that it achieves international solidarity across business and political spheres to ensure they are part of the project of decarbonising the country’s economy, while ensuring energy security and supporting development, said business lobby Business Leadership South Africa CEO Busi Mavuso. South Africa advanced plans for a Just Energy Transition Partnership with several developed countries to provide $8.5-billion to support the country’s energy transition at the twenty-seventh United Nations Conference of the Parties in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in November last year.
