AFD and the Just Energy Transition

The concept of “just transition” came about from the realization of the link between the environmental and social crises. It takes into account the interests of workers and disadvantaged people in the processes of decarbonizing economies, so that the transition to decarbonized energy sources is not in conflict with improvement in people’s well-being.

In partnership with local stakeholders (States, public and private companies, financial institutions, NGOs, and civil society), AFD Group is putting to work its full range of financial tools to promote an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable energy transition:

• Adopting an inclusive approach for just planning and governance,
• Enacting proactive and protective public policies,
• Creating decent jobs while providing support 3 for households and local authorities.
