This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics, produced with Strategic Perspectives, proposes principles and frameworks for a just and equitable global phase-out of oil and gas production. It argues that current production trajectories are incompatible with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement and calls for leadership from the G7 and G20 to coordinate a managed decline of fossil fuels to avoid stranded assets and minimize social costs.

This research paper by the NewClimate Institute examines the financial requirements for a just transition of the power sector in Mexico, focusing on the phase-out of fossil gas, the expansion of renewable energy, and the social support needed for workers and communities.

This briefing by RMI explains how electric utilities can use Community Benefits Plans (CBPs) to mitigate project risks and secure federal financing, specifically through the Department of Energy's Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment (EIR) program. It argues that meaningful community engagement and commitments to labor and equity reduce the likelihood of project cancellations, address workforce shortages, and improve a utility's social license to operate.

This executive summary, published by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) in May 2024, proposes a new framework for designing international investment treaties. Rather than focusing on the flaws of existing regimes, the document suggests a 'roadmap' approach that identifies urgent policy problems in international investment governance and evaluates whether treaties are the appropriate tool to solve them, emphasizing sustainable investment, the regulation of project impacts, and international cooperation.

This document is a Korean translation of selected sections from the 'Boom & Bust Coal 2024' report by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and its partners. It analyzes global trends in coal power plant capacity as of April 2024, highlighting a contradiction where global capacity reached record highs in 2023 despite a general decline in new project starts outside of China. The text provides specific regional updates, with a detailed focus on South Korea's coal phase-out challenges, financial risks associated with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), and the socio-economic implications of a just transition.

The 'Status of the transition to green & fair economies 2024' executive summary identifies a global 'polycrisis' of conflict, economic instability, and climate change, while noting systemic shifts toward social justice and green macroeconomic governance. It highlights the rise of the clean energy economy, led by solar PV and electric vehicles, alongside significant risks such as the 'gold rush' for critical minerals, insufficient private sector investment in nature, and the use of climate policy as a political 'wedge' issue.

This research paper analyzes the tension in German foreign policy between corporate profit interests and value-based rhetoric, specifically regarding trade and investment in Africa. The author argues that Germany is shifting from a broad 'exportist' geoeconomic approach toward a more selective strategy focused on risk mitigation and the securing of critical resources, such as LNG and minerals, while urging a transition toward supporting African economic self-determination and regional industrialization.

This research paper examines the distributional impacts of electrification, digitalization, and automation on workers within the Swedish transport sector, specifically focusing on the subjective and objective quality of working life for taxi and truck drivers.

The Institute for Economic Justice and a coalition of partners issued a statement to the President of South Africa ahead of the 2024 State of the Nation Address (Sona), urging the government to align its budget and policy implementation with the needs of marginalised people and to end 'hyper-austerity' measures led by the National Treasury.

The Global Research and Action Network for a New Eco-Social Contract (GRAN-ESC), convened by UNRISD and the Green Economy Coalition, submitted recommendations to the UN Summit for the Future. The submission argues that the 'Pact for the Future' must incorporate 'eco-social contracts' that integrate ecological, social, and economic elements to revitalize the 2030 Agenda and ensure a just transition.

This report examines the power dynamics and distribution policies influencing the phase-out of coal in the Colombian Caribbean, as part of a comparative study with South Africa and Indonesia on just energy transitions in Global South coal-producing countries.

The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) provides USD 27 billion in grants to reduce GHG emissions in disadvantaged U.S. communities. While transformative, the fund is small compared to the estimated USD 2.8 trillion needed by these communities by 2035. To succeed, the report argues the GGRF must catalyze private capital, standardize underwriting, coordinate technical assistance via a hub-and-spoke model, align government incentives, and foster a collaborative 'sandbox' culture for learning and accountability.

This briefing by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) analyzes the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai, focusing on the integration of human rights in climate policies. The report argues that the conference was undermined by the host country's restrictive civic space and corporate capture by the fossil fuel industry, leading to outcomes on fossil fuel transitions and the Loss and Damage Fund that are insufficient and flawed.

The 2024 Regional Resilience Hubs virtual summit emphasized the necessity of locally-led adaptation (LLA), flexible and decentralized climate finance, and the meaningful inclusion of marginalized groups. Key discussions focused on integrating nature-based solutions, addressing the gendered burden of unpaid care work, and ensuring that climate investments protect human rights and land tenure to prevent the displacement of vulnerable populations in regions including Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

This toolkit provides a human rights-based approach (HRBA) to climate finance, specifically designed for civil society organisations and trade unions to advocate for just energy transitions in developing nations. It critiques the 'Billions to Trillions' (B2T) neoliberal agenda and the Just Energy Transition - Investment Plan (JET-IP) in South Africa, arguing that these models prioritise private profit and debt over public goods and human rights. The guide outlines six clusters of rights-based principles—ranging from national responsibilities and sovereignty to debt relief in times of crisis—and provides practical 'How to' guides and factsheets to help advocates influence climate investment plans and national budgeting processes.

This policy brief, produced by Transforma and WWF, analyzes the structural barriers to climate and biodiversity financing in Latin America and the Caribbean. It argues that current global financial flows are insufficient, poorly distributed, and lack the accessibility needed to support vulnerable communities and nature-based solutions. The document proposes a shift toward 'just financing' that prioritizes quality, accessibility, and the alignment of national fiscal policies with environmental goals ahead of COP30.

This policy brief, produced by Transforma and WWF, analyzes the challenges and opportunities for a Just Energy Transition (JET) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It argues that the region must move beyond simple decarbonization toward a socio-ecological transition that addresses structural inequalities, fiscal dependence on fossil fuels, and the protection of biodiversity and human rights, particularly in the context of the upcoming COP30 in Brazil.

This working paper by the Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ) for the Climate Ambition to Accountability Project (CAAP) evaluates climate financing through a rights-based framework, arguing that current models prioritizing private sector interests may compromise human rights and national autonomy.

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) analyzes the annual economic implications of a low-carbon energy transition for the state of Jharkhand, India. It estimates that the cumulative annual economic impact on Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), the state government, and the local community would be INR 725.9 billion (USD 8.7 billion). The document provides a detailed breakdown of potential losses in revenue, employment, and livelihoods across the solid fossil fuel mining and power generation sectors, while recommending a comprehensive Just Transition (JT) plan to mitigate these adverse effects.

The African Climate Foundation (ACF) issued a statement outlining its priorities for COP28, calling for equitable progress on the Global Stocktake, adaptation, finance, and loss and damage to ensure that climate actions do not exacerbate Africa's vulnerability or hinder its sustainable development.
