Boosting Just Energy Transitions in G20’s Emerging Economies
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
The true essence of attaining just transitions and sustainable development is by maintaining the balance between environmental protection and human economic development to ensure that no one is left behind. The benefits of the just transition have to reach beyond the educated and the privileged class, which is an enormous task. This policy brief argues that the emerging economies in the G20 need strategic alliances and partnerships with and investments from the G7 countries (and vice versa) to decarbonise their economies by taking into account the climate emergency.a These collaborative efforts will result in enhanced investments and commitment that will lead to immense opportunities for social and economic development and the creation of sustainable jobs in the ecological sectors and beyond. This policy brief presents practical strategies for achieving a just transition framework for social inclusion, integration, and cohesion.
