The report provides the most detailed analysis to date of the likely labor market dynamics of a climate transition consistent with the Paris agreement’s well-below-2-degree goal. It includes an extensive set of corresponding policy recommendations for governments, international organizations and companies.
The report was previewed at a dedicated event at COP 30 in Belem with the participation of the UNFCCC and Brazilian, German and other governments and formally published in January 2026 by the World Resources Institute. Its publication and backing reflect a growing recognition that the politics of climate action are not likely to improve unless and until the strategy for it is structured in a way that simultaneously advances economic and social development!
