COP 29 | Innovative Research and Engagement Strategies for a Just Transition in the Global South
Through innovative research and engagement methods, stakeholders, including workers, civil society, and policy-makers, help implement a just transition in the Global South, where coal regions face complex socio-economic challenges in light of the transition to clean energy. This unofficial COP 29 side event, hosted by the ILO Just Transition Pavilion in Baku, Azerbaijan, will convene a diverse set of speakers to illustrate practical examples such as regional consultation forums, ethnographic research, or tools like simulation games to support just transition implementation.
The event will highlight how diverse, context-specific solutions can tackle the real-world challenges of transitioning away from coal in the Global South. By focusing on practical tools from regions deeply affected by the energy transition, the session aims to inspire broader collaboration and innovative thinking among stakeholders. The event seeks to contribute to global discussions on making the energy transition socially and economically just.
