SUMMARY:Trade House event at COP28: Key elements of a just transition that 
 leave no one behind
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Just transition is being proposed to address the injustice stem
 ming from the fact that &quot\;[C]limate change creates a double inequalit
 y whereas developed countries are responsible for the bulk of the negative
  consequences of climate change\, but remain the least affected by them\, 
 while the countries least responsible for climate change are most adversel
 y affected by it.&quot\;. In addition\, trade-related policies put in plac
 e by developed economies can limit developed countries&#039\; market acces
 s\, trade revenues\, and ability to mobilise domestic resources. Trade rul
 es and policies that\, for instance\, restrict access to the necessary tec
 hnology can slow or limit developing countries&#039\; transition from foss
 il-intensive energy systems and deliver low-carbon industrialisation. The 
 energy transition will also require investing about 1.5 times today&#039\;
 s global GDP until 2050 in renewable energy generation\, energy efficiency
 \, and energy infrastructure. But just transition is more than energy tra
 nsition. Given the centrality of fossil fuels to the global economy and th
 e deep integration of almost all sectors and communities in the carbon val
 ue chain\, decarbonisation entails the systemic transformation of the whol
 e economy and society. A just transition requires maximising co-benefits w
 hile minimising trade-offs between environmental\, and social and developm
 ent objectives\, as embodied in the SDGs. Also\, the preamble of the Paris
  Agreement  includes the imperative of a just transition of the workforce
  and the creation of decent work and quality. However\, no internationally
  agreed definition exists\, and the focus of discussions has varied greatl
 y. This session will explore the:Main constraints developing countries fa
