This case study considers the growing need for frameworks that provide confidence that governments are increasing near-term climate action to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions targets. National governments are already taking concrete climate action, but it is difficult to determine the extent to which current and planned future action will enable the transformations necessary to radically decarbonize economies while ensuring a just transition.
To explore this challenge, WRI presents a framework showing key national climate actions for achieving a just transition to net zero. The framework was developed in consultation with an expert advisory group and country government experts on climate action contributing to a just transition to net zero.
Five country case studies were selected to showcase current experiences and lessons learned and to highlight how ongoing actions may contribute to achieving national net-zero targets.
