Overview:
The Just Transition is a strategy ensuring the shift to a sustainable, low-carbon economy is fair, addressing socio-economic impacts on communities dependent on traditional industries. It responds to climate change with actions like renewable energy adoption and conservation, aiming to reduce inequalities and support affected workers through equitable job creation and reskilling. Key initiatives, such as the European Union’s Just Transition Mechanism, facilitate this shift by balancing environmental goals with economic and social equity, in line with the Paris Agreement. This approach highlights global cooperation and the commitment to achieving net zero emissions while ensuring no one is left behind.
