Just Transition
Just Transition Framework Goals
Citizens, communities and place: support affected regions by empowering and invigorating communities and strengthening local economies;
Jobs, skills and education: equip people with the skills, education and retraining required to support retention and creation of access to green, fair and high-value work;
Fair distribution of costs and benefits: address existing economic and social inequality by sharing the benefits of climate action widely, while ensuring that the costs are distributed on the basis of ability to pay;
Business and Economy: support a strong, dynamic and productive economy which creates wealth and high quality employment across Scotland, upholds the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and continues to make Scotland a great place to do business;
Adaptation and resilience: identify key risks from climate change and set out actions to build resilience to these risks, ensuring our economy is flexible, adaptable and responsive to the changing climate;
Environmental protection and restoration: commit to act within our planetary boundaries while protecting and restoring our natural environment;
Decarbonisation and efficiencies: contribute to resource efficient and sustainable economic approaches that actively encourage decarbonisation, support low-carbon investment and infrastructure, and avoid carbon 'lock-in'
