The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) invites members of the media to attend the Just Transition Global South Exchange (GSE), taking place 27 October to 29 October 2025.
The three-day event will bring together unions, civil society, and government representatives from the Global South to strengthen cooperation and advance a just and equitable transition to a low carbon economy. Building on the success of the 2024 GSE, this year’s exchange is set to deepen solidarity and coordination in the lead up to COP30 in Brazil in November. Discussions will centre around workers’ rights, energy democracy, climate finance, job creation and ensuring the Just Transition remains worker-led and socially inclusive.
Venue: Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre, Terminal B
Time: 9am – registration starts at 7.30am; access is by accreditation only.
