The South African government has implemented various programmes to address the ongoing multiple crises. To tackle informalisation, the government, in dialogue with trade unions, plans to improve labour protections for vulnerable and atypical workers, by both strengthening labour legislation and employing more labour inspectors to improve compliance in workplaces. To address the food crisis, the South African government has implemented a basic social security grant, enabling nearly half of the population, including eight million unemployed persons, to buy food. However, around 15 million South Africans are estimated to be suffering from food insecurity and hunger, suggesting more long-term actions are urgently needed. A Just Energy Transition Investment Plan is being implemented to enable the country to move from carbon-intensive to cleaner forms of energy generation. Initial efforts will focus on moving away from coal, supporting affected coal workers, and investing in new energy vehicles and green hydrogen. The country has more than doubled its renewable energy generation since 2019, which stood at 11.9% and 2023. In July 2024, the President signed the Climate Change Bill into law, making it legally binding for the country to further reduce its emissions.
