Climate Action Network and Demand Climate justice, both ENGO constituencies, give a lot of importance to this JTWP delivering concrete outcomes as soon as possible, starting in Belem.
We have been reflecting since Baku on what actions taken here can make the lives and livelihoods of workers and communities better – we are happy to share them with all parties
In brief, they fit very well in your structure
Under Operationalisation of the WP and joining our colleagues from Trade unions, We have elaborated a proposal for a global JT mechanism to accelerate progress on the ground and support coordination of multiple initiatives within and outside unfccc, that would consolidate the WP as a knowledge sharing arm while opening also a coordination function for initiatives within and outside UNFCCC and an action arm, where many initiatives could be taken, such a help desk for countries and territories seeking support, capacity, technology
We recognize and appreciate how parties have been acknowledging the necessity of inclusivity, consultation, and participation of rights holders in JT measures and policies. We hope this recognition can be concretized through a COP decision calling on or encouraging all countries to establish these national participatory institutions, including but not limited to tripartite social dialogue mechanisms for trade unions
We do see here also the development of a guidance framework /principles as an important way to secure key human, labour and indigenous peoples rights and the participation of women, youth, workers, disabled people and people of african descent, our participation in JT initiatives at all levels, as well as the right to energy, water, food, among other key dimensions.
Under Support for JT pathways
We would like to encourage parties to recognise that the design and implementation of Just Transition policies, plans, programmes and practices will be supported with means of implementation and provided with new, additional, adequate, non-debt-creating, and predictable climate finance.
On Additional guidance, we think we should be clear on dimensions where JT plays a critical role, including on fossil fuels, renewables, critical minerals, agriculture/food systems, industry, transport, care economy, adaptation, among others)
