Modelling a Green Economy Recovery for South Africa

This policy brief reports estimates of the potential economic, social and environmental impacts of key policies in the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan (ERRP) published by the South African Government in October 2020. It draws on a case study prepared within the wider project Inclusive Green Economy response scenario modelling of COVID-19 recovery plans by Cambridge Econometrics, in collaboration with Professor Margaret Chitiga-Mabugu of the University of Pretoria for the Partnership for Action on Green Economy.
