WEC Executive Roundtable “Advancing Climate Justice” Summary
The confluence of the climate crisis with urgent demands for social justice has elevated the principle of climate justice to the center of public debate around climate action by governments and the private sector. Advocates for decarbonization, sustainable development, and human rights agree that a just transition to a low-carbon future is essential so that its benefits and burdens are shared equitably. What is climate justice and how should business respond to the obligations and opportunities that a just transition will create?

Twenty-five leaders from business and NGOs participated in the roundtable . The report below is a summary of its key insights.
