Climate Strategies’ submission on views relevant to the topic of the 1st dialogue under the UAE Just Transition Work Programme

The document argues that incorporating just transition strategies into NDCs is essential for increasing the ambition and effectiveness of climate action. It notes that only 31% of current NDCs include social dimensions and suggests that those that do are more likely to attract necessary international investment. The author calls for the Just Transition Work Programme to provide technical and institutional capacity building to help policymakers draft feasible targets and mainstream social justice.

• Integrating just transition strategies into the next round of NDCs can increase the ambition and effectiveness of national climate actions, particularly as countries balance ambition with implementation feasibility and poverty eradication efforts.
• Only 31% of current NDCs include social dimensions or reference just transitions, but research from the South-to-South project (S2S) indicates that NDCs accounting for just transitions are more likely to attract international public and private investment.
• Policymakers require technical and institutional capacity building to create ambitious yet realistic just transition plans; the Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP) is identified as a potential source of support for drafting feasible targets and mainstreaming social justice.
