Table 6: Environment, Climate and Just Transitions Commitments

The US Agency for International Development will “elevate the role of workers, unions, and community leaders in just transition initiatives and work with partners to ensure labor organizations, trade unions, and impacted communities meaningfully participate in energy transition planning. USAID will support partners to pursue ambitious and equitable mitigation efforts to advance just transitions that will have economic, health, ecological, and social benefits. Such mitigation efforts will use an inclusive approach that empowers a broad range of stakeholders, including the labor movement and marginalized and underrepresented groups, to ensure shared and sustained outcomes as well as limit any negative impacts.” (p.35)
