TIPS Working Paper How can South Africa engage the EU (and other G20 members) on CBAM and advance a 'Just Transition' in Africa during its G20 Presidency and beyond

  • Year: 2025
  • Organisation: TIPS
  • Author(s): Professor Faizel Ismail and Seutame Maimele (TIPS)
  • Countries and Regions: South Africa

This paper is intended to contribute to the discussion on how to build a broader framework to respond to the EU CBAM and engage in diplomacy with the EU to support South Africa and Africa’s “just energy transition”. With South Africa being the Presidency of the G20 in 2025, this also provides African countries with an excellent opportunity to engage with all G20 members (including the United States (US)) on how to restore the integrity of the multilateral trading system and advance a just transition for African countries that also advances their economic development and social transformation.
