Increasing international cooperation and investment for just transitions

A Work Programme on Just Transition Pathways will be discussed for adoption by UNFCCC parties at COP28 in UAE this year. A key outcome of the work programme will be a framework for financing just transition pathways across the global climate finance architecture.

Under this backdrop, the panel will involve leaders from G7 countries, partners countries and social partners to discuss progress on just transition and the importance of green jobs and skills strategies for achieving the SDGs. It will address how their countries are investing in a low carbon economy to alleviate inequality and promote climate adaptation and mitigation.
