Research report for SNAPFI project(University of Cape Town, 2020-08) Winkler, Harald; Keen, Samantha; Marquard, AndrewPrior to 2020, the South African economy was facing major socio-economic challenges, struggling to eliminate poverty and reduce persistent inequality. The COVID crisis has deepened the financial crisis, with the last major agency putting the country’s rating below investment grade, or ‘junk status’. The recovery plan starts with rescue. The climate crisis is longer-term but still needs as urgent action as ever. The country is preparing to enhance its nationally determined contribution in an unprecedented context. Decarbonisation of the electricity sector is a priority – but in the SA context requires careful attention to communities and workers dependent on coal. The just transition transaction (JTT) is being developed in technical detail since 2019 by Meridian Economics (2020) and making the financial deal is work in progress. In brief, the transaction mobilises blended finance to fund the accelerated phase out of coal, thereby accelerating a transition from coal to renewable energy, and a portion of the concessional funds flows into Just Transition fund. This case study reflects on the JTT, seeking to understand its architecture, the potential to catalyse changes in the complex set of challenges in the electricity sector, by funding accelerated phase-out of coal and a just transition in South Africa, with broader implications for international climate finance. The time-scale of developing the transaction is fluid, while implementation of decommissioning would take many years. The purpose of the study is to understand the potential of a just transition transaction to accelerate the phase out of coal-fired power and to fund development projects. The purpose requires a specific focus, and it is important to understand what is included in the scope of this case study, and what lies beyond that scope.

- ItemOpen AccessInnovative Finance Week 1 Video 6 - Impact energy(2019) Patton, AunnieThis video focuses on the impact of energy in countries. We highlight the need for energy in order to achieve high development. We also show that 1.2 billion people in the world do not have access to electricity, with Sub-Saharan Africa accounting for half of that population. We also highlight that there iis a high potential of investing in renewable energy in those regions as they have a capacity to generate 11 terawtt of renewable energy This is video 6/11 in week 1 of the Innovative Finance: Hacking Finance to change the World course.

- ItemOpen AccessPHY1013S(2013) Leigh, GregorA series of lectures for first-year physics students concerning eletricity, electrical and magnetic fields, capacitance, and elctro-magnetic induction, aimed at introdcutory courses for Physics at a university level. These lecture slides contain graphs and visualisations of key physics concepts, as well as problem-solving strategies to help students develop their analytical and mathematical skills. These lecture slides can be used by lecturers looking to supplement their lecture materials with external materials or students looking to improve their knowledge through self-study.
