Local people who rely on #Forests for food and livelihood need forest protection as part of a #JustTransition. Poorly designed/implemented forest restoration projects can heavily burden local communities, while ignoring the strongest drivers of deforestation (agribusiness, etc.).

Looking at how the #JustTransition will impact #Agriculture ... The challenge: Farmers’ differing abilities to adapt to climate change and adopt new practices can be overlooked – altering farming practices to adapt to climate change can be expensive and time consuming.

Next, we’ll examine how the #JustTransition will affect the #Mobility sector. In most countries, the transportation system is already deeply inequitable. Reducing transportation GHG emissions without tackling equity & accessibility can perpetuate current injustices.

Anticipating changes, engaging in a dialogue with those most impacted, protecting workers’ rights, and investing in the future are key ways to ensure a #JustTransition in these sectors.

If you ignore the social impacts of the #energytransition you can create a two-tier system with no access to clean energy for the poorest in society. To tackle this, we need: Targeted investments 💰 Capacity building 👷 Awareness-raising in communities 🤝

On the #Energy sector: Poorly designed fossil fuel subsidy reform & carbon pricing can really impact low-income households, where clean options are unavailable or unaffordable. Fossil fuel subsidies that benefit richer consumers must be replaced with accessible energy programmes.
