Towards a just green transition: addressing structural inequities
Abstract
The triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution – and the measures to mitigate and adapt to them – disproportionately affect certain social groups and regions. Those with the fewest resources, and those who have contributed least to these problems, are often most negatively affected. In this Opinion, the EGE calls policymakers to frame the transition as an opportunity to tackle the underlying drivers of injustice and formulates recommendations to this end
