The Green Economy Learning Assessment for South Africa is a response to PAGE’s intention to contribute to better policy coordination and collaboration, and to help improve institutional and individual capacities through enhanced green economy learning. It was conducted during June to August 2016 by researchers of the GreenSkills programme. Compared to previous studies, it focused on the learning needs of ‘champions’ in government, business, civil society and academia, who drive the transition towards a green economy in diverse policy contexts at national, provincial or local levels and included all nine green economy focus areas identified in South Africa’s National Sustainable Development Strategy and Action Plan (2011).
