Fosil yakıtların aşırı kullanımı ve karbon emisyonlarındaki artış başta enerji sektörü olmak üzere fosil yakıtlardan temiz enerji kaynaklarına enerji dönüşümünü gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, enerji dönüşüm çağında Güney Afrika’nın enerji politikalarını ele alarak, fosil yakıtlardan alternatif temiz enerji kaynaklarına yönelen ve enerji geçişini hızlandırmak isteyen Güney Afrika’nın adil enerji geçişi sürecini incelemektedir. Bu çalışma ile gelişmiş ülkeler tarafından önerilen Adil Enerji Dönüşümü Ortaklığı modelinin gelişmekte olan bir ülke olarak Güney Afrika’yı nasıl etkileyeceği, kömüre bağımlı bir ekonomiye sahip Güney Afrika’nın enerji dönüşümü ile karşılaşacağı zorlukları, ülkenin fosil yakıtlardan temiz enerji kaynaklarına nasıl geçeceğinin açıklanması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada nitel bir yöntem kullanılarak devletlerin, uluslararası kuruluşların ve sivil toplum örgütlerinin resmi açıklamaları ve belgelerinin yanı sıra yayınladıkları istatistiki verilerden faydalanılmıştır. KW - Enerji KW - Enerji Dönüşümü KW - Güney Afrika KW - Adil Enerji Dönüşümü N2 - The future of humanity is threatened by threats such as global warming and pollution. The excessive use of fossil fuels and the increase in carbon dioxide emissions call for an energy transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources, especially in the energy sector. This study examines South Africa's energy policy in the energy transition era and explores South Africa's just energy transition process as it shifts from fossil fuels to alternative clean energy sources and seeks to accelerate its energy transition. The aim of this study is to explain how the Just Energy Transition Partnership model proposed by developed countries will affect South Africa as a developing country, what challenges South Africa as a coal-dependent economy will face in the energy transition, and how the country will transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources. The study uses a qualitative methodology. It draws on official statements and documents as well as statistical data published by states, international organisations and non-governmental organisations. CR - Atkins, P. ve Paula, J.
