This report provides normative proposals on how to widen the approach of policymakers and non-state actors (companies and financial institutions) when addressing the question of justice in climate and nature transition policies.
The just transition can be a transformative process. The High-Level Expert Group’s (HLEG’s) Integrity Matters report, Recommendation 9, states, ‘Just transitions incorporate the need for transformative development pathways that allow developing countries to provide for minimum needs and industrialise with the latest clean technologies while creating opportunities for green jobs and decent livelihoods, more energy security and financial resilience.’ In this context, the just transition encapsulates a transformative vision that embeds developing countries’ right to development, livelihood and resilience (social, economic and ecological).
This report highlights:
- The interconnected nature of the global just transition to low emissions and climate-resilient development;
- How policies for companies and financial institutions can influence their activity towards greater interconnected justice outcomes; and
- How local, national and supranational policymakers can enhance multi-actor dialogue towards stronger interconnected justice outcomes.
It aims to support policymakers in developing policies for companies and financial institutions and enhance the integrity of these actors’ justice commitments in an increasingly interconnected world. It also underscores the importance of pursuing the just transition at speed and scale across jurisdictions, underpinned by policy provisions on cross-border impacts and interconnected justice.
