Thank you for participating in the 2nd webinar launching our new publication, Social Foundations of a Just Coal Transition.

Transitioning away from coal towards affordable, reliable, and clean energy sources is urgent and essential for fulfilling the goals of the Paris Agreement. Yet this process, if not designed with inclusion and justice in mind, can have unintended, negative consequences for marginalized groups and communities whose livelihoods and identities have long been shaped by the sector. LLCA approaches can offer valuable insights for supporting socially sustainable, just coal transitions. In this webinar, we will discuss what actions can be undertaken at the earliest stages of preparing for a just transition, to ensure that transition decision-making is inclusive and benefits are shared across society. We will hear country examples on meaningful community engagement and participation, as well as trust and coalition-building to support effective bottom-up planning and action.

• Locally Led Climate Action activities supported by the World Bank are expected to benefit over 100 million people by 2030.
• As of 2024, over $4 billion has been committed by the International Development Association to support 20 low-income countries with LLCA activities in Pacific Islands, South Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean.
• In 2023, the LLCA Knowledge and Learning Platform was launched to create scalable, replicable projects, and influence global dialogue on climate finance.

Empowering local communities is key to achieving equitable climate resilience. The World Bank's Locally Led Climate Action (LLCA) approach prioritizes devolved climate finance, participatory decision-making, and inclusive investments that address the needs of vulnerable groups. With over $4 billion committed to LLCA activities across 20 low-income countries, these initiatives aim to benefit more than 100 million people by 2030. From Kenya’s national-scale model of climate finance to Guinea’s capacity-building efforts, this brief highlights how LLCA fosters community resilience, enhances local leadership, and advances the global climate agenda.

Sunday November 17 is Development and Climate (D&C) Days, a full-day side event happening outside the COP venue, featuring voices and actions from civil society and the Global South. The World Bank is co-hosting D&C Days again this year with the International Institute for Environment and Development, the Red Cross Climate Centre, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and the Climate Justice Resilience Fund. It will feature sessions on decolonizing climate finance, financing the ‘just’ in just transitions, climate action in fragile and conflict-affected settings, green accountability, and more! The opening and closing plenaries will be livestreamed, and the other sessions will be recorded.
Stay tuned for event updates and a virtual participation registration link.

Join the World Bank and MPIDO for a compelling panel on the vital role Indigenous Peoples play in carbon markets through stewardship of vast carbon-rich ecosystems. Featuring perspectives from donors to Indigenous leaders, this session will examine how these markets impact Indigenous communities and explore pathways to ensure they benefit equitably from their essential contributions to global climate goals.
