Overview
The just transition framework ensures that the move toward a sustainable economy does not leave workers and communities behind. It addresses the social and economic impacts of phasing out fossil fuels, including job losses in coal, oil, and gas sectors. Key elements include reskilling programs, social safety nets, community investment funds, and inclusive policy-making. The International Labour Organization estimates the green transition will create 24 million new jobs by 2030, but requires proactive policies to manage displacement and inequality.
