🌱 Powering South Africa's Future: Inclusivity at the Heart of Our Energy Transition 🌍 I recently came across a compelling report on South Africa's energy transition by UNDP Africa and Seriti Institute (NPC) Institute that underscores a crucial truth: inclusive stakeholder engagement is key to sustainable development. As we shift towards renewable energy, it's vital to recognize the significant challenges faced by our coal mining communities—pillars of our economic history. These communities are at risk of job losses and economic disruption, making it essential to involve them in the transition process. 💡 With 83 out of 105 residential units already leased in key projects and a thriving rental market, the potential for growth is clear. But the real success of these initiatives lies in meaningful engagement with all affected communities. By actively listening to and understanding their concerns, we ensure that the energy transition is not only environmentally sustainable but also socially equitable. Gold Standard supports approaches that prioritize community engagement, ensuring that the move to renewable energy benefits everyone. Together, we can build more inclusive and resilient economies, leaving no one behind. Let's champion sustainable development through collaboration and dialogue! 🤝 #SustainableDevelopment #InclusiveGrowth #CommunityEngagement #RenewableEnergy #JustTransition Gold Standard UNDP Sustainable Finance Hub Seriti Institute (NPC)

AuKing Mining Limited (ASX:AKN) managing director Paul Williams joins Proactive’s Tylah Tully to discuss the company’s binding agreement signed with Moab Minerals Ltd (ASX:MOM) to sell its remaining non-core prospecting licences at the Manyoni Uranium Project in Tanzania. The deal is valued at $175,000 and follows the revocation of two key prospecting licences at Manyoni by the Tanzanian Mining Commission. These licences were a critical part of the project's #uranium resource estimate, and after unsuccessful negotiations with Tanzanian authorities, AuKing opted to sell the remaining assets.

Changing the perception of mining as "destructive" or "wasteful" or "dirty" is as challenging as it is necessary. This is an excellent video to help better understand the importance of mining for a low-carbon future. "How do we make those solar panels and wind turbines without extracting the raw materials that they're made out of?" Exactly. #ifitsnotgrownitsmined
