Expert Exchange: How to translate just transition principles into policy frameworks

The principle of a just transition—a shift towards sustainability that doesn't leave workers or communities behind—has gained widespread acceptance. But how have just transition measures been implemented in practice around the world until now? And what lessons can be drawn from current policy development processes? On 20 May 2026, the Expert Exchange “How to translate just transition principles into policy frameworks”, organised under the Innovation Regions for a Just Energy Transition (IKI JET) project, brought together experts from the Independent Research Institute Mongolia, the University of Cape Town (South Africa), Dala Institute (Indonesia), and the Wuppertal Institute (Germany) to share insights from their respective fields of expertise and country experiences.
