南アフリカの石炭依存からの移行が貧困削減に与える影響を体系的にレビュー。雇用創出は確認されたが、多くは短期・低質で、失業地域から地理的に乖離しており、制度的連携の弱さや脆弱層の排除が課題。政策提言としてガバナンス強化と地域開発との統合を提示。
English
This systematic review examines South Africa's energy transition's impact on poverty and employment. It finds that while new jobs are created, they are often short-term, low-quality, or geographically mismatched with coal-dependent regions. Weak governance and exclusion of vulnerable groups limit benefits. The paper recommends stronger coordination and integration of transition strategies with local development.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX文脈では、石炭火力のフェードアウトに伴う雇用転換や地域対策が喫緊の課題。本レビューは、JETP（公正な移行パートナーシップ）の実効性を評価する枠組みを提供し、日本版JETPやエネルギー転換政策における地域包摂の重要性を示唆する。
In the global GX context
Globally, just transition is a critical component of climate action, embedded in frameworks like the Paris Agreement and emerging disclosure standards. This systematic review provides empirical evidence on the gap between transition rhetoric and outcomes, highlighting governance and spatial equity issues that are relevant for ISSB, CSRD, and transition finance discussions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
South Africa's transition away from coal-based energy is promoted as a pathway toward inclusive development and poverty reduction. Yet concerns persist about whether current transition policies deliver meaningful economic benefits to the communities most affected by the coal phase-out. This systematic review assesses how energy transition interventions in South Africa influence employment outcomes and poverty reduction, with particular attention to governance arrangements, job quality, and the spatial alignment of new economic opportunities with coal-dependent regions. Following PRISMA-guided review procedures, peer-reviewed literature was systematically identified, screened, and synthesized to examine evidence across renewable energy deployment, labor market transitions, and complementary public employment and energy-efficiency programmes. The review finds that while the energy transition has generated new employment opportunities, these are frequently short-term, low-quality, or geographically disconnected from communities experiencing job losses, limiting their poverty-reduction potential. Weak institutional coordination, uneven local implementation, and the exclusion of vulnerable groups further constrain inclusive outcomes. The paper concludes by outlining policy-relevant recommendations to strengthen governance, improve employment quality, and better integrate energy transition strategies with local development and poverty alleviation objectives.
