Leveraging social protection to reduce inequalities in the just transition

Addressing the dual challenge of climate change and inequality require policies delivering on both environmental and social sustainability aspects. In this context, social protection can play a critical role, particularly through supporting a just transition. The paper examines this role and offers strategic recommendations on how social protection can provide a safety net against the short-term impacts of the transition, but also on how it can play a transformative role going beyond the safety
nets.
