This submission responds to the call for inputs under the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP). It responds directly to paragraphs 25 and 26 of the UAE JTWP CMA.7 decision agreed at the 30th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP30) which invite views on the process for operationalising a just transition mechanism (JTM) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The recommendations address both the process for developing the JTM and the functions and corresponding institutional structures the JTM should adopt.

The submission draws on work produced by the Grantham Research Institute, including the Just Transition Finance Lab and the Law & Governance research unit; the Green Skills Lab; the Centre for Economic Transition Expertise (CETEx); and the TPI Global Climate Transition Centre.
