Navigating the headwinds: uncertainties and resilience of a just transition future
Shaw Library, 6th Floor, Old Building, Houghton Street, London WC2A
About this Event
The event will be based on a panel discussion and a Q&A. It will debate how to safeguard and maintain progress on the just transition agenda in the face of the backward pressures that have gathered momentum in 2024 and 2025 and collect insights about the current public policy environment including the outlook and challenges for progressing the just transition in the run up to COP30.
The panel will focus on the just transition as a multilateral policy agenda. This includes how the just transition has become a core plank and/or conditionality to climate finance, its resilience to ongoing and potential retraction in climate finance, and the reform of the global financial architecture.
