National and Local Factors in Just Transitions for Low- and Middle-income Countries
Transitions away from fossil fuels and carbon-intensive industries involve a range of social, political, economic, and environmental factors
Abstract
Transitions away from fossil fuels and other carbon-intensive industries involve a range of dynamic social, political, economic, and environmental factors at international, national, regional and local levels. Many national governments, state-owned and private enterprises, trade unions, civil society organisations and individuals have committed to carbon emission reduction targets and adopted just transition principles into their strategies to shift away from carbon-intensive energy production and consumption. This report reviews some of the available evidence on the effectiveness of these strategies, summarising global and cross-country analyses and examining transitions in 5 low- and middle-income countries: Egypt, India, Indonesia, Mozambique, and South Africa.
This report was prepared for the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and its partners in support of pro-poor programmes
