Climate Strategies’ submission to Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) on the work programme on just transition pathways referred to in the relevant paragraphs of decision 1.CMA.4

Climate Strategies advocates for the UNFCCC's Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP) to move beyond a narrow focus on energy sector workforce impacts toward a broader framework of procedural and distributional justice. The submission suggests that expanding the scope of just transitions allows for better alignment of climate and development goals, particularly for developing countries, and leverages the JTWP to enhance the overall ambition and implementation of the Paris Agreement.

• The conceptualization of just transitions in international climate negotiations has evolved from a narrow focus on the negative impacts of response measures on energy sector workers to a broader framing that better represents the needs of developing countries and aligns climate goals with development goals.
• The Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP), established at COP27, serves as a critical mechanism to advance the goals of the Paris Agreement by integrating a just transition approach into the UNFCCC framework, supported by the Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan's emphasis on social dialogue and inclusive action.
