Accelerating action for a Just Transition

A just transition ensures environmentally sustainable economies are developed fairly and inclusively, creating decent work opportunities and leaving no one behind. Businesses play a key role by integrating responsible practices, social dialogue, and partnerships into their strategies.

The UN Global Compact supports business action on just transition through its Forward Faster initiative, challenging companies to take concrete, accountable actions in climate action, social impact, and economic growth.

The Think Lab on Just Transition, launched with the International Labour Organisation and International Trade Union Confederation, brought together companies and partners to shape business strategies, tackle challenges, and drive policy advocacy.
