Last year, my Department published its Statement of Strategy for the period 2025-2028. This Strategy includes the key strategic objective to provide climate leadership to accelerate the delivery of a just transition to climate neutrality. As a key action to deliver on this objective, my Department will develop a just transition strategy.
The Just Transition Strategy will be developed over the course of 2026 with publication expected in Q4 2026. This timeframe will allow for a range of meaningful inputs to inform the strategy development including specific just transition focussed research, and engagement with relevant stakeholders.
The development of the strategy is in line with the recommendations of the Just Transition Commission's 2025 Introductory Report.
