Abstract

Having made the case for creative policy engagement within the context of the Great Climate Transformation in the preceding chapters, the present chapter outlines a fit-for-purpose policy approach to address these challenges. Building on the notion of ‘Governing Complexity’, the chapter argues for African policy makers to adopt the role of what has been termed elsewhere as ‘Complex Designers’. As Complex Designers, policy makers would be able to adopt a fox-like approach to policy-making, whereby they can connect disparate policy domains in the quest for a just transition. The chapter then highlights concrete policy initiatives that embody the notion of Governing Complexity. These examples serve as heuristics for thinking about similar policy challenges.
