Building on the foundation of the preceding two sessions, panelists reflect on the COP outcomes from a climate justice perspective and share their thoughts on the relationship between measures to ensure a just transition and our collective ability to achieve the Paris climate goals.
There are two sides to just transition. Globally, there is the question of who will foot the bill for required changes (both mitigation and climate adaptation) in developing countries as well as whether there will be any money available to compensate for climate damage. Domestically, to what extent do Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) seek to address issues of climate justice, without which there is likely to be significant backlash from affected communities?
