‘No Paraffin! Campaign’ National Roundtable Discussion Webinar Series
Dates: 18 and 25 February and 4 March 2021
The Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), in collaboration with The University of South Africa (UNISA) Institute for Social and Health Sciences (ISHS), the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC), and North West University (NWU) invite you to a series of webinars on the No Paraffin! Campaign.
The national roundtable discussions are aimed at bringing together key stakeholders (experts, NGOs, business, and policymakers) to forge consensus around the rationale and overall goal of an inclusive national energy transition, i.e. one that centres the needs of the energy-poor. The webinars are planned to take place on 18 and 25 February and 4 March 2021 and will evaluate information and evidence needed for the national policies and strategies to inform the energy transition; explore the strategies that may be implemented to deal with economic, workforce and other consequences of the transition; indicate specific policy support that may be required to manage the transition from paraffin; and foster the building of what is intended to develop into broad-based civil society-science-policy advocacy.
