Issues and Options for the Just Transition Mechanism Discussion Paper

1 minute read

This discussion paper was submitted to the UNFCCC on March 23, 2026.

At the 30th Conference of Parties (COP30), Parties agreed to develop a just transition mechanism (JTM) under the United Arab Emirates Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP). The mechanism is intended to: enhance international cooperation, technical assistance and capacity-building and knowledge sharing, while also enabling equitable, inclusive just transitions. Parties must define and agree the machanism’s components to operationalize it by COP31. Through a well-designed mechanism, Parties can strengthen synergies with existing work on just transition, both inside and outside the work programme, while also integrating the outcomes of the first, and informing the second, global stocktake.
