Just transition
Not met yet — counts as met once you answer a question on it.
Social, economic, and labour dimensions of shifting from fossil-fuel-dependent industries to a low-carbon economy define just transition. It covers reskilling coal-sector workers, compensating fossil-fuel-dependent communities, and India's commitments under Paris Agreement NDCs and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Just Transition Guidelines. The central conceptual axis is equity in climate action — who bears the cost of decarbonisation and how welfare instruments such as MGNREGS and skill development missions can cushion sectoral exits.
