The Class
In this Climate Classroom, participants will learn about current debates on the global energy transition, with a focus on developing economies who are currently dependent on oil and gas exports. The session will explore challenges and opportunities of implementing the Global Stocktake (GST) decision to move away from fossil fuels in a just and equitable manner, and related expectations for COP30. Through real-world examples, it will examine the current landscape of declining fossil fuel demand and its implications for countries’ economic, development and climate goals.
Climate Strategies works at the science-policy interface, advancing climate policy through meaningful interactions between decision-makers and researchers across Europe and internationally. We are an international, not-for-profit knowledge brokerage with an expansive network of world-leading researchers. Our project, Policy Dialogue for Just Energy Transitions: Pathways to Prosperity Post Fossil Fuels (PPFF) convenes policymakers, leading researchers and key stakeholders from select oil and gas dependent countries to foster visionary leadership and surface evidence-based policy solutions to support the phasing out of fossil fuels and enable just energy transitions.
