Designing for Fairness and Affordability in Clean Energy Transitions
Показать описание
Designing for Fairness and Affordability in Clean Energy Transitions // As our energy systems undergo the most significant structural transformation of this century, international stakeholders must seize the opportunity to include those on the margins of the energy economy, thereby improving lives and well-being around the world. Underlying the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with just transitions principles offers a pathway to achieve both climate and social justice goals, two sides of the same coin. This side event will focus on how governments and international stakeholders can ensure that energy transition strategies, embedded within NDCs, are people-centred, prioritising fairness, affordability, and equity in the distribution of both the costs and benefits of energy transitions.
Building on the work of the IEA's Global Commission on People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions: Designing for Fairness, this side event will provide a platform for ministers, policymakers, labour leaders, and civil society representatives to share insights on how just transition principles can be effectively integrated into national climate commitments. It will specifically focus on integrated approach strategies in which NDCs can be aligned with the creation of decent and high-quality jobs, protect vulnerable communities and households, and foster inclusive economic growth.
This discussion will explore some of the following questions:
• How can NDCs be aligned with just transition principles to ensure that clean energy technologies are affordable for all, particularly low-income and marginalised communities?
• How can NDCs promote tools to support decent work opportunities for communities and workers affected most by energy transitions, such as just transition plans or local economic diversification programmes? How can NDCs be underpinned by implementation plans addressing these workers’ specific needs to provide pathways for reskilling, upskilling, and job transition to the clean energy economy?
• What role does meaningful stakeholder participation play in shaping just transition plans and NDCs respectively in order to promote both energy transitions and social equity?
• Which mechanisms, including local and regional cooperation and international partnerships, can support countries with limited fiscal capacity that are facing significant socio-economic challenges in aligning their NDCs with just transition principles?
