To mitigate the adverse effects on coal-dependent communities and related economic sectors, it is crucial to ensure that the transition is just. This involves equipping affected individuals with the necessary skills responding to employment opportunities in relevant sectors/value chains (renewable industry, green hydrogen, manufacturing etc) and providing economic opportunities to preserve and improve their livelihoods. This need is particularly pressing in the context of high unemployment and rising inequality."}, {"bbox": [84, 535, 1142, 678], "category": "Text", "text": "The proposed action represents the EU's contribution to supporting South Africa's efforts to manage the energy transition effectively.
