The Global Commission for People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions  has presented 12 recommendations from national leaders, ministers and civil society representatives address issues of jobs, worker protection, equality, social inclusion and fairness. They also emphasise the vital importance of protecting workers and communities that might be negatively affected by clean energy transitions. The recommendations also include advice on how to ensure all policies have equity and social inclusion at the heart of their design, and how to engage all citizens as active participants in transitions.
