Just Transition

 Just Transition: In order to tackle pressing environmental challenges like climate change, pollution and plummeting biodiversity, nations and businesses need to transition towards greener, resilient and climate-neutral economies and societies.


A Just Transition means greening the economy in a way that is as fair and inclusive as possible to everyone concerned, creating decent work opportunities and leaving no one behind.

A Just Transition involves maximizing the social and economic opportunities of climate action, while minimizing and carefully managing any challenges – including through effective social dialogue  among all groups impacted, and respect for fundamental labour principles and rights .
Ensuring a just transition is important for all countries at all levels of development. It is also important for all economic sectors – by no means limited to energy supply – and in urban and rural areas alike.

Why is so much noise on Just Transition now? - Since climate change affects different sects of population differently - having a disproportionate impact on the under privileged sectors - its important to ensure Just Transition for everyone.
