A Just Transition to Decarbonisation

This book provides researchers and policy-makers with legal avenues to enable a just transition to decarbonisation. The focus is on the United Nations themes of loss and damage, transport, nature and youth - across Australia and other economies - to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by 2030 and beyond. The four themes scaffold discussions about a just transition beyond the UN Climate Change Conference COP28 in Dubai with the specific issues addressed in this book serving as a starting point for future discussions.

Advances the need for a just transition to a low-carbon economy Framework drawn from United Nations climate change conferences Tackles the challenge of a just transition based around four selected UN COP themes
