About UAE Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP)
- The JTWP is formally adopted at COP30 in Belem, Brazil, also called the Belém Action Mechanism (BAM).
- Aim: To support countries in transitioning away from fossil fuels through technical assistance, capacity-building, and international cooperation.
- It is particularly important for developing countries, which face the greatest social and economic disruption from fossil-fuel phase-out.
- Objective: It ensures that climate action supports communities, workers, and economies during the shift toward low-carbon and climate-resilient development.
- Purpose:
- Inclusive Transition: It aims to help countries design transition pathways that are socially inclusive, economically sustainable, and environmentally sound.
- Equity Focus: It emphasizes that climate transitions should generate new opportunities while protecting vulnerable groups and workers.
- Key focus areas:
- Multi-Dimensional Approach: The programme integrates energy, socio-economic, workforce, and community dimensions into transition planning.
- Social Protection: It requires transition strategies to include social protection measures for affected workers and communities.
- Country-Specific Pathways: It encourages nations to tailor their transition plans to their own contexts and development priorities.
