# South Africa agrees a Just Energy Transition Partnership at COP26

Date: 2021

## The fact

On 2 November 2021 South Africa and international partners announced an $8.5 billion Just Energy Transition Partnership to finance a coal-to-clean shift. [Ramaphosa](/people/cyril-ramaphosa) owned the South African side. Disbursement series are later rows.

## Context

Load-shedding sat as parent weather. Neighbouring Vulindlela is a neighbour reform. He did not sit as every Eskom plant.

Vulindlela is a parent. Load-shedding end 2025 is a later child.

The President of South Africa heads the national executive, appoints Cabinet, and assents to bills. He does not write an Eskom generation print, an NPA charging decision, a DA court challenge, or a US executive order by himself. Phala Phala cash in a sofa is not a completed criminal verdict unless a court so holds.

## Evidence and sources

The Presidency of South Africa carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

## What is established and what is not

Established: 2 November 2021 JETP announcement, independently reported.

Not established: that $8.5 billion was thereby fully disbursed that Tuesday, or a unique later tonne coefficient.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Partner governments fund. Eskom and just-transition offices implement.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies South Africa agrees a Just Energy Transition Partnership at COP26, not a later speech about South Africa agrees a Just Energy Transition Partnership at COP26.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. South Africa agrees a Just Energy Transition Partnership at COP26 on 2021-11-02 is not a licence to treat every later The Presidency of South Africa communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average South Africa agrees a Just Energy Transition Partnership at COP26 into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He agreed the South African side. Partner governments fund. Eskom and just-transition offices implement. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
