Achieving Just Energy Transition G20

The document argues that G20 countries, due to their high greenhouse gas emissions and population shares, must phase out fossil fuels through a just energy transition. It identifies four imperatives: tackling fossil fuel-dependent regimes, diversifying economies, providing transition finance, and improving international coordination. The brief concludes with three specific recommendations: improving governance for low-carbon pathways, diversifying economies via transition finance mechanisms, and synchronising global efforts.

• G20 nations are urged to phase out fossil fuels because they represent a significant portion of the global population and are responsible for massive greenhouse gas emissions.
• A just energy transition requires four primary imperatives: addressing the dominance of regimes dependent on fossil fuels, diversifying economies, securing transition finance, and enhancing international coordination.
• The brief proposes three specific recommendations for G20 governments: improving governance to enable a shift toward low-carbon energy regimes, implementing economic diversification strategies supported by transition finance, and synchronising global just energy transition efforts.
