🇿🇦🇪🇺 South Africa gets 280 million euros in EU grants for green transition

The European Union announced it would invest more than 280 million euros in grants in South Africa to help the country green its coal-dependent economy.

"Together with South Africa, we are committed to a decarbonisation pathway," Josep Borrell, who is in South Africa for talks, said in the statement.

The EU said the money came as part of the bloc's recently unveiled Global Gateway initiative, which is in part aimed at countering China's and Russian growing influence.
