“…how the burdens (and costs) of the global transition are allocated among states that are, to varying degrees, affected by climate change, and have varying capacities to carry out the transition. 62 This takes us to such questions regarding how NDCs should be calculated, considering also historical responsibility for emissions, 63 and what specific role should the concept of just transition play here. In our view, just transition could also guide in determining NDCs, if it worked as an umbrella or framing concept of climate action.…”

“…Applied to climate policies it means that the necessary measures should be designed and implemented at lower levels where they will have the most immediate effect, although climate change is a global problem necessitating, at the same time, international cooperation and national form. 104 One of the principles in relation to procedural elements of policy design and implementation is the "Principle of free prior informed consent" (PFPIC). While introduced within the context of chemicals, waste and biodiversity and later in relation to indigenous communities and biodiversity, the PFPIC is the backbone of a number of human rights relating to public engagement in environmental decision-making.…”

This article focuses on the concept of just transition, which has recently greatly expanded in the climate debate, expressing the demand to adopt and implement climate policies leading to decarbonisation in a way that maintains equity and justice. Building on previous research on the concept of just transition in other disciplines of social sciences, and on the concept’s appearance in international climate law instruments and law literature, we analyse the just transition in the field of law. We seek to clarify its conceptual framing, to define its meaning, and to determine its position and limits in law. We then examine it vertically (for each level of law) and horizontally, addressing the main criteria that define its content, i.e., human rights and legal principles.
