C. Just Transition

Organizing the energy transition in general and renewable energy development in particular in a just and equitable manner is key for the success of the energy transition. Important elements of a just transition include consultation with the local community when it comes to the selection of the site (siting – Indicator C1). If public consultation is not done properly, the project cannot move forward and permits will not be issued. In addition, some jurisdictions offer incentives and regulation for local communities to participate financially (Indicator C2). Moreover, policies for harnessing socio-economic co-benefits can be implemented (Indicator C3). Lastly, specific policies are required for coal workers (Indicator C4) and coal-heavy regions (Indicator C5).
