The aspiration of most countries worldwide is to establish a low-carbon economy, as evidenced by the overwhelming majority of nations that have signed the Paris COP21 agreement. This book argues that this global societal shift towards a low-carbon economy must be just. Consequently, it will serve as an invaluable and accessible resource for scholars from all research disciplines who aim to create a fairer, more equitable, and inclusive world where sustainability is prioritized and climate targets are met. This groundbreaking analysis is the first in-depth exploration of the critical role of law in achieving a just transition to a low-carbon economy. Moreover, it advances the JUST framework, a unique assessment tool for evaluating the just transition. This valuable research and theoretical tool offers a practical perspective by incorporating geographical space and development timelines into the analysis. Furthermore, the research delves into the global just transition movement and the influence of international institutions.

Through a series of case studies on Just Transition Commissions and Critical Mineral Development, the book intricately details and showcases essential elements of justice, encompassing distributive, procedural, restorative, recognition, and cosmopolitan justice. The analysis makes evident that while these are vast domains for analysis, their practical application can collectively ensure society progresses towards achieving a just transition to a low-carbon economy.
