Join us to launch the Alliance for Just Energy Transformation, a voluntary initiative that catalyzes action, advance inclusive international dialogue, share best practices and identify how to ensure the global path to energy transition is socially just and equitable.  

To enable a sustainable energy transition, environmental and social outcomes must be considered in equal measure by all stakeholders to prevent the transition from leading to social inequities, loss of jobs and livelihoods, stranded assets and other undesirable impacts on economies and vulnerable communities across the world. In order to achieve this, investment must be geared towards enabling a just transition i.e. a low carbon transition that is fair and inclusive, creates decent work opportunities and leaves no-one behind. It is therefore important today for policymakers, energy providers, and financial institutions to incorporate these considerations as primary criterion by integrating social, economic and environmental impacts firmly and holistically within their existing operational frameworks.
