What is 'Just Transition'?

The Scottish Government has set out how it is moving towards ‘net zero’ - that means a 75% reduction in harmful emissions, like carbon dioxide, by 2030 and 100% reduction by 2045.

A just transition is both the outcome – a fairer, greener future for all – and the process that must be undertaken in partnership with those impacted by the transition to net zero.

Just transition is how we get to a net zero and climate resilient economy, in a way that delivers fairness and tackles inequality and injustice.

Green PB is a driver for achieving a Just Transition to Net-Zero for Scotland, and supporting more people to be involved in the decisions that affect them, their communities and the environment.
