In the case of South Africa, action to enable climate change mitigation must confront a well established organisational field (of which State institutions are a critical part) often referred to as the Minerals Energy Complex – institutions historically structured around the exploitation of cheap coal and labour. The study demonstrates the need for greater focus on the institutional context within which climate policy emerges.Text1 digital file (38 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenREGULATIONENVIRONMENTAL POLICYCLIMATE MITIGATION POLICYSOUTH AFRICASOUTH OF SAHARAINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL FRAMEWORKMINERAL RESOURCESPETROLEUM INDUSTRYPOLICY MONITORINGENERGY POLICYCLIMATE CHANGE POLICYSynthesis Report
