Share your views on Just Transition Commission

11/11/2024

DAERA Minister Andrew Muir has launched a consultation on establishing a Just Transition Commission for Northern Ireland.

The commission is designed to ensure the transition to a net zero society is fair and that no-one is left behind or disproportionately affected.

The Commission’s purpose will be to oversee the implementation of the just transition elements set out in the Act and provide independent advice to all government departments on how to ensure that proposals, policies strategies and plans required to tackle climate change take account of the just transition principle.

The aim of the consultation is to gather views to help inform the Department on the establishment of the Commission, as well as informing the Commission of the views of the public as to what duties and responsibilities are seen as playing a key role.

The consultation closes on 13 January 2025.
