We Mean Business Pavilion, COP29 Blue Zone, Baku, Azerbaijan
November 19, 2024

It is clear that we need to accelerate the transition to a net-zero economy to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. At the same time, we need to ensure a just transition—one that is fair, equitable and inclusive. Because a net-zero future requires a transformation of economies and societies, a just transition is relevant and essential for all sectors, and all businesses need to examine and address how climate change and climate solutions affect people across their value chains. To do this, meaningful engagement with workers and communities and co-creation of solutions are critical components, as the transition cannot truly be considered 'just' unless those most affected are included and have an opportunity to shape its outcome.
This event will emphasize the importance of engaging workers and communities for a just transition and will share insights on how to conduct meaningful stakeholder engagement and co-creation.
Individuals with a Blue Zone pass are eligible to attend.
