Agriculture and ecosystem services are linked as key economic sectors for just transition interventions, as evidenced by their shared inclusion in global evidence reviews [1], [2], and [3]. They face similar barriers regarding social equity [4] and are both evaluated for their potential to deliver climate resilience and social gains [5], with specific interventions identified that contribute to both sectors [6].

claimBarriers to just transition in ecosystem services and agriculture often cluster around social equity issues, specifically inadequate coordination between sector agencies and implementing partners, lack of clarity regarding benefits for stakeholders, and the unequal distribution of benefits which creates tension.
procedureThe realist review conducted by the GCF-IEU and ILO seeks to answer six specific research questions regarding just transition interventions in non-Annex I countries, including: 1) What evidence exists for interventions in energy, agriculture, infrastructure, and ecosystem services? 2) How can just transition outcomes be methodologically defined for workers, households, and firms? 3) What is the landscape of existing studies and how can they be clustered? 4) How effective are just transition approaches in key economic sectors? 5) How do underlying programme theories illuminate the effectiveness and efficiency of interventions? 6) How can the evidence base be synthesized to support programming by global climate funds and international agencies?
claimApproaches to a just transition within key economic sectors, specifically energy, agriculture, food, and ecosystem services, are nuanced and require different interventions to achieve desired pathways.
claimMapping activities to outcomes in agriculture, food, and ecosystem services reveals that the highest incidence of outcomes occurs across three areas: enhanced climate resilience, maximized social, economic, and decent work gains within regions or countries, and greater social and gender equality.
measurementThe research team identified 11 interventions that focused on or contributed towards a just transition across both agriculture and food and ecosystem services.
claimThe Independent Evaluation Unit of the Green Climate Fund (GCF-IEU) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) conducted a global evidence review of interventions aiming to contribute to a just transition in non-Annex I countries, specifically within the sectors of energy, agriculture and food, infrastructure, and ecosystem services.
