The Hub is mandated to build, support, and amplify social demand for concrete development pathways that deliver a just transition.
Our Vision
A decarbonised economy powered by renewable energy and which delivers direct social and economic benefits that tackle inequality, unemployment, and poverty.
Our Mission
To build, support, and amplify authentic social demand for pathways to a just and renewable powered economy.
Strategic pillar 1
Build a strong information commons
Clear facts drive real conversations – and change that benefits everyone, not just a few.
We’re building a scientifically robust resource library that’s accessible to activists, media, policy makers, and the public to drive evidence-based decisions on South Africa’s energy transition.
Strategic pillar 2
Strengthen
social
participation
Those who stand to lose the most should have the biggest voice in deciding what comes next.
We’re strengthening local leadership in coal- and transition-affected areas so that workers, women and young people not only have a seat at the table, but a powerful say in shaping a dignified future for all.
Strategic pillar 3
Create compelling campaigns
Bold stories shift hearts, minds, and policies – especially when they clarify complicated facts.
We support journalists, creatives, and movement builders with the data, funding, and rapid-response backing they need to mobilise public support and hold decision-makers accountable.
