Limiting warming to 1.5°C, as set out in the Paris Agreement, is essential to avoiding the devastating impacts of climate change on ecosystems, lives and livelihoods. To do this, emissions need to be reduced by at least 43% by 2030 and 60% by 2035 compared to 2019 levels, and reach net zero globally in the second half of the century.
Ensuring that the energy transition is just and leaves no one behind is crucial for the most vulnerable countries and those with limited capacity, such as Least Developed Countries. It is important that during this transition citizens can engage in a dignified and equitable manner.
This webinar will discuss opportunities to contextualise just transition pathways and priorities for Least Developed Countries in a way that better represents their interests internationally and nationally.
It aims to bring together a diverse range of perspectives from national policy-makers and negotiators, technical experts and other relevant stakeholders to build foundational knowledge on the topic. The webinar will be conducted in English.
