“We have learned that we can’t just transition the energy system (ie decarbonise), we have to simultaneously consider biodiversity and society (justice).”
What is the climate transition? The paper aimed to tackle the climate transition head-on for what it is: many things, all inextricably intertwined. We explored biodiversity loss, just transition, circular economy, adaptation and mitigation – mindful that they all form part of a single, interconnected system that must transition together.
We are very grateful to the members of the working group for their input and guidance but stress that the authors alone are responsible for any errors of omission or commission in this paper.
