MISTRA is a partner in a consortium that is made up of the Departments of Environmental Affairs, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Science and Technology, TIPS, HSRC and UNISA. The purpose of the SA-EU Sustainability Transition Dialogue is to create a common understanding of the sustainability transition implicit in the National Development Plan’s 2030 vision of a “transition to an environmentally sustainable, climate change resilient, low-carbon economy and just society”; and to enhance South Africa’s implementation of this sustainability transition and its contribution to the global transition required by the Sustainable Development Goals through the domestication of the SDGs and associated domestic indicators.
