This report by the United Nations presents the general concept of a just transition of the workforce, and the creation of decent work and quality jobs. It explores how climate change mitigation policies impact employment through four key effects: job creation, job substitution, job elimination, and job transformation. The report highlights the need to align workforce transitions with sustainability goals, ensuring that economic shifts towards greater environmental responsibility also promote equitable and meaningful employment opportunities.
