Just Transition Rising

From lived experience to structural change, we’ll spotlight – through panels and breakout sessions – how justice is being fought for on the ground, and ensure those demands are heard on the road to COP30.

As authoritarianism, corporate power, and climate breakdown escalate, the call for a just transition has never been more urgent. We’ll explore the building blocks of a just transition – from social protection, decent work, and energy access to investment rules, trade justice, and inclusion – while recognising that struggles differ by national and sectoral contexts. Between the hard realities of daily life and global negotiations lies the national terrain of industrial policy, public institutions, and civic resistance, which all shape how a just transition is actually forged.

This event is organized by the Climate Action Network-International (CAN). NRGI’s Ana Carolina González Espinosa will join Session 8: Naming Power: Holding States, the Private Sector and Institutions to Account on Thursday, 15 May from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM (GMT).
