The long-term success of climate action and the transition will depend on how well negative social and economic impacts can be prevented or addressed. This panel discussion, organized with the support of the USP2030 Social Protection and Climate Change Working Group, aims to discuss the potential of social protection linked to skills and employment promotion to support people throughout the transition and leave no one behind.
