Building Equitable Futures: Implementing a Just Transition in Urban Environments
A discussion on how to integrate just transition principles into urban planning, measure progress with key performance indicators (KPIs), and ensure an inclusive transition for all.
As the climate crisis intensifies, local governments play a pivotal role in advancing net-zero and climate-resilient urban development while ensuring an equitable and inclusive transition that leaves no one behind.
Achieving an equitable transition requires embedding the principles of a just transition into all urban planning efforts and using key performance indicators (KPIs) to gauge success. KPIs like energy access, job training, and skills development are essential for tracking progress and aligning outcomes with national and local goals, ensuring that the shift to sustainable, low-carbon energy systems benefits everyone.
UrbanShift and ICLEI invite you to join this webinar and participate in this important conversation on defining and implementing KPIs, leveraging JETP funding and fostering community engagement for a just urban transformation.
