Accelerating an equitable transition: a framework for economic equity

This paper offers a perspective on the intersection between climate change and inequality. It highlights the effects of climate mitigation on workers, entrepreneurs and consumers, aiming to mobilize governments and businesses to maximize opportunities and minimize risks in the green transition. In the absence of fairness in the distribution of costs and benefits arising from the climate transition, the social and political support required to shift to a carbon-neutral future may not materialize.
