South Africa's new environment minister, Dion George, aims to focus on utilizing the country's $9.3 billion climate finance for renewable energy development. Appointed as part of the country's first coalition government since the 1990s, George wants to implement the Just Energy Transition Partnership with various nations and increase renewable energy connections to the national grid. Challenges include delays in shutting down coal plants and a lack of progress in renewable energy projects, requiring more political will and faster execution.
