Author(s): Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation, Bread for the World
Description: This study provides an overview of the different just transition, energy transformation and climate justice discourses of the previous years and how they are ultimately reflected in the Paris Agreement. It shows how they overlap in terms of transition narratives and policy demands. It also presents a set of eight just energy transition principles, designed to make justice applicable to energy transition processes. They cover the climate, socio-economic and political dimensions in a balanced way to reflect the legitimate justice claims of a broad range of potential allies for a just energy transition alliance. Each principle is associated with indicators, and a formula is used to attach a final score, to assess a country’s level of justice in the energy transition.
