日本語
南アフリカの再エネ部門は政策意図ではなく草の根の人材不足が制約となっていると指摘。憲法上その役割を担う地方自治体は、実施の分断や技術力不足、住民参加の欠如から責務を果たせていない。7名の関係者への半構造化インタビューとNVivoによる主題分析から、政策枠組みは存在するものの実施が分断され、能力構築が不十分かつ偏在し、自治体と学術・国際機関の連携が未発達で、住民参加が周辺的であることを示す。SDG7・17の地方レベル実装に資する実証的知見を提供する。
English
This qualitative study examines local government's strategic role in closing grassroots renewable energy skills gaps in South Africa. Interviews with seven stakeholders, analyzed thematically via NVivo 14, reveal fragmented policy implementation, insufficient and unevenly distributed capacity-building, underdeveloped municipal-academic-international partnerships, and peripheral community engagement. It links Sustainability Transition Theory to localized governance models and advances SDG 7 and SDG 17 implementation at the municipal level.

日本のGX文脈において
日本ではGX推進法や地域脱炭素の文脈で自治体・地域人材育成が課題となっており、地方自治体が担う能力構築と多機関連携の分断という南アの知見は、日本の地域GX人材戦略を相対化する示唆を持つ。
In the global GX context
While framed around South Africa, the paper speaks to a global gap in just-transition scholarship: the municipal-level skills and governance layer that national decarbonization policy and transition-finance frameworks (e.g. ISSB-aligned transition plans) often overlook. It adds empirical grounding on how local capacity constraints undermine renewable energy rollout.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Sustainability Transition Theoryを地域ガバナンスや人材育成に接続する実証事例として参照できる。
🏢実務担当者:再エネ事業者が地域人材育成や自治体・教育機関との連携を設計する際の示唆を得られる。
🏛政策担当者:自治体への権限・財源・能力構築支援と、分断された実施を統合する政策設計の必要性を示す。
📄 Abstract（原文）
Evidence suggests that South Africa's renewable energy sector is constrained not by a shortage of policy intent but by a critical shortage of skilled people at the grassroots. Local governments are constitutionally positioned to address this gap. Unfortunately, previous research has established that they consistently fall short of this mandate due to fragmented implementation, limited technical capacity, and inadequate community engagement. To date, studies have focused more on national-level renewable energy policy without examining the specific role of municipalities in building community-level renewable energy skills. This study set out to investigate the strategic role of local government in addressing renewable energy skills shortages through targeted grassroots initiatives in South Africa. A qualitative approach was employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven purposively selected stakeholders across South Africa's renewable energy ecosystem. Thematic analysis, facilitated by NVivo 14, generated four primary themes and seven sub-themes. The findings of this study suggest that while policy frameworks exist, their implementation remains fragmented. Capacity-building initiatives are insufficient and unevenly distributed. Partnerships between municipalities and academic and international institutions are underdeveloped. Community engagement remains peripheral rather than central to renewable energy skills planning. The study contributes original insights on aligning Sustainability Transition Theory with actionable, localised governance models for renewable energy skills development. It advances the empirical basis for SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) implementation at the municipal level. It demonstrates that the multi-institutional partnerships required to close the renewable energy skills gap are themselves a direct expression of SDG 17 (partnerships for the goals). It recommends integrated, context-sensitive policy action, modular technical training programmes, and inclusive multi-stakeholder partnerships as essential to equipping communities for a sustainable energy future.
