    Abstract

    The EU’s ‘Just Transition Mechanism’ proposal has become highly contentious, bringing up issues of redistribution between countries. It faces three main challenges: overcoming a focus on national allocations; expanding the transition from energy to other sectors; and including the private sector and civil society in the transition. By effectively mainstreaming the idea of a just transition, the Commission can ensure that the current proposal not only becomes less sensitive, but also more effectively supports a fair shift to a zero-carbon society.
