International organizations have declared that the world is now in a climate emergency, urging nations to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century. The transition to net-zero is a massive transformation of the socio-economic system, requiring joint efforts from governments, businesses, and civil society. A just transition is crucial to the success of this process. The Paris Agreement incorporates the concept of just transition and emphasizes the participation of diverse stakeholders to ensure fairness, justice, and human rights through cross-sectoral dialogue and policy-making collaboration, contributing to national climate governance. In the context of climate change, the just transition movement includes the principles of energy and climate justice. As a long-time global advocate for decarbonization and sustainable development, the European Union has developed a relatively comprehensive and in-depth framework for implementation. However, significant disparities in resources and conditions exist among EU member states. Understanding how each country addresses its domestic challenges and how EU-level frameworks and strategies help achieve shared goals is a valuable area of study. This research adopts a horizontal scanning approach to examine the EU’s overarching policy framework for a just transition and analyzes strategies from five European countries. By comparing the dimensions of“issues,”“goals and principles,”“policy tools,”and“governance systems,”this study aims to draw insights from international experiences to inform Taiwan’s policy development. |
