To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he has taken to develop a Just Transition Work Programme in line with the Sharm-el Sheikh Implementation Plan agreed at COP27; and what consultations have been held with trade unions to date.
Graham Stuart
Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government recognises that a just transition will support the creation of quality jobs in developing countries and enable enhanced climate mitigation. As such, the Government is working constructively towards a COP28 decision on the Just Transition Work Programme which catalyses increased climate ambition and underscores the importance of supporting workers and impacted communities. Trade Unions are engaged through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change process.
