Today, the Just Transition concept can also be found in pages of other
radical platforms on climate actions by policymakers and activists
4
such as the New Green Deal (NGD) program in Europe and in the
United States. This NGD program envisions not only a drastic cut in
carbon emissions but also a massive mobilization of resources for the
planned transition, similar to the concept of the Marshall Plan that
rehabilitated the Western world from the massive destruction of
WWII.

Consequently for the more progressive unions, a transition can only
be just when power is effectively reclaimed by the communities from
the hands of the oligarchs.

The ILO Guidelines

The ILO Guidelines from then on became the fulcrum of Just
Transition policies for the UN 2030 Agenda on Sustainable
5
Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) . It
also provides the basic framework for implementing the Paris
Agreement (UNFCCC 2015). In brief, the Guidelines enjoin the
Governments to:

(a) provide a coherent and stable policy framework for
sustainable enterprise development and decent work for all;

(b) promote and engage in social dialogue, at all stages from
policy design to implementation and evaluation and at all
levels, from the national level to the enterprise, in line with
international labour standards;

Similarly, the Social Partners are enjoined to:

(a) raise awareness and provide guidance among their members
for the Just Transition framework;

(b) play an active role in the formulation, implementation, and
monitoring of national sustainable development policies;
