New report highlights emerging best practice and innovation around just transition strategies
Geneva, 27 April 2023: The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the Council for Inclusive Capitalism and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) have released a comprehensive compilation of insights and case studies to support energy companies in their efforts to advance a just transition to a net-zero carbon energy system.
As the global momentum around the transition to a net-zero carbon economy continues to accelerate, this new resource highlights the critical importance of ensuring that this transition considers people as well as planet.
It underlines how companies, governments and other stakeholder groups need to work proactively and purposefully to ensure that the transition to net zero mitigates potential negative impacts on workers, suppliers, communities and consumers, while also harnessing opportunities to deliver equitable and inclusive outcomes for all.
The report positions the Just Transition Framework for Company Action, developed by the Council for Inclusive Capitalism and its network of partners, as a useful source of guidance when identifying the key categories of action that companies should consider as they pursue just transition strategies.
