The principles of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR) must be central to discussions on plans for fair and equitable transition to low-carbon economies, India has said at the ongoing Bonn climate talks.
At COP27 in Egypt’s Sharm el Sheikh, parties to the Paris Agreement had introduced a ‘Just Transition Work Programme’ to ensure the development of low-carbon pathways that include socio-economic dimensions aligned with nationally defined development priorities.
At an informal discussion on the ‘Just Transition Work Programme’ at Bonn on Tuesday and Wednesday, India said discussions around just transition pathways must not focus only on mitigation but also take into consideration the challenges in adaptation and the means of implementation.
