Leave No One Behind: Engaging Communities in the Just Transition Process Towards Climate Neutrality

Policy Highlights. To achieve the recommendation stated in the title, we propose the following: Equip key actors with the transformative capacities to support the development and implementation of regional visions, plans, and narratives. Develop structures and participatory mechanisms that encourage a wide social dialogue and citizen involvement in just transition projects. Use insights from science and practice from participatory processes, as well as methods and tools developed in different contexts, to enable just transitions. Involve local stakeholders in the intersectional analysis of compensatory measures for holistically mitigating negative impacts of policies or interventions. Make use of the full spectrum of SSH and STEM tools to support local transition processes.
