- Many policymaking processes have promoted a just transition to limit job losses from stronger climate policies over the past five years.
- However, concerns over how governments allocate resources to help fossil fuel workers transition to new jobs and a recent rise in opposition to decarbonisation has weakened support for the concept.
- This paper argues that researchers, policymakers and others in the sustainability community should seek to broaden and deepen support for a just transition to counter this recent opposition.
- Broadening support will entail demonstrating how expanding the scope of a just transition beyond climate-related job losses can empower diverse stakeholders to tackle a wide range of challenges under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Deepening support will involve illustrating how procedural, distributive, recognitive and restorative justice can expand participation while building capacities to craft and assess progress with equitable responses to key environmental SDGs.
- Broadening and deepening support will strengthen links between the environmental and social dimensions of the SDGs.
- The reforms recommended in this discussion paper would also set the stage for including a just transition subheading and corresponding procedural, distributive, recognitive and restorative justice targets under a Means of Implementation (MOI) goal in the post-2030 sustainable development agenda.
