Incorporación de estrategias de transición justa en las respuestas a las NDC y la COVID-19 de los países en desarrollo

The report examines the challenges and opportunities of implementing just transition (JT) frameworks in developing nations, highlighting the critical role of the informal economy and the need for context-specific definitions. Through case studies in Colombia, Ghana, and Indonesia, it finds that while some governments are beginning to incorporate JT into climate plans—most notably Colombia in its revised NDCs—awareness remains low and inter-ministerial coordination is often lacking. The document emphasizes that COVID-19 recovery packages have generally not been linked to climate mitigation or adaptation strategies. It provides guidelines for national governments to foster inclusive decision-making, build institutional capacity, and engage marginalized groups, including informal workers and traditional leaders.

• Awareness and understanding of the 'just transition' concept vary significantly across the studied countries; Colombia is the only one of the three to explicitly include it in its revised NDCs presented in December 2020.
• In Indonesia and Ghana, government officials were familiar with the term 'just transition' but had not yet explored or adapted the concept to their specific national contexts.
• The high prevalence of the informal economy is a major challenge for developing just transition strategies, as these workers are often undocumented and lack access to state aid.
• Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the studied countries have not yet been linked to climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
• In Ghana, there is a significant gap between the awareness of climate change among informal workers and their involvement in policy development; 93% of surveyed informal workers reported a lack of policies to protect their businesses from climate change.
• Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), donors, and investors are increasingly aware of just transitions, but it is not yet a specific requirement for loans or investments.
• The report recommends that national governments establish a specialized department or official whose sole responsibility is to ensure an inclusive and just transition.
