Realist Review on Just Transition Towards Low Emission, Climate ... link.springer.com Jan 5, 2026 3 facts
claimThe world is currently experiencing multiple interconnected environmental crises, specifically climate change, biodiversity loss, and the degradation of land and oceans.
claimThe concept of 'just transition' applies to responses to wider environmental challenges beyond climate change, including biodiversity loss and pollution.
referenceThe goal of transitioning away from high-polluting agricultural practices is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (specifically methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide) while creating resilient food systems that support population growth, adapt to climate change, and reduce biodiversity loss, according to the Green Climate Fund (2021a).
