New publication on Just Transition and Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS)
GGGI´s insight brief, “Just Transitions in LT-LEDS: A Review of G20 Submissions,” analyzes how G20 countries are planning their long-term climate strategies in a fair and inclusive manner.
While most strategies acknowledge just transition principles—such as workforce development, innovation, and inclusive governance—the review uncovers critical gaps: long-term climate policy largely lacks specificity on who will be affected, clear timelines for phasing out carbon-intensive activities, detailed financing strategies for climate transitions, and robust monitoring mechanisms. This oversight risks leaving vulnerable communities behind and slowing the global shift to net-zero. The report calls for future strategies to prioritize actionable roadmaps, targeted social support, and transparent investment plans to ensure the clean energy transition is both fast and fair for all.
