Presidential Climate Commission

The Presidential Climate Commission aims to build a social compact around a Just Climate Transition. In building a low carbon, climate resilient economy and society, we need to ensure decent work for all, social inclusion, and the eradication of poverty. We need to protect those most vulnerable to climate change, including women, children, people with disabilities, the poor and the unemployed, and protect workers’ jobs and livelihoods. The PCC facilitates dialogue between social partners on these issues, in particular the type of society we want to achieve, and detailed pathways for how to get there.
