This session will explore the linkages between the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and the Just Transition. In particular, the webinar will shed light on the employment impacts of NDC-related climate action and how can governments use evidence-based research to advise policy. The first presentation of the Webinar will contextualise and take stock of the current situation of the NDCs. The second presentation will expand on the need of NDCs to integrate employment considerations, thus positioning the Just Transition at the centre of climate action. Subsequently, the GAIN methodology will be briefly presented as an effective tool to advise climate action and help governments understand better the employment impacts of their climate change commitments.
