The CIPP defines a Just Transition as an energy transition in which the condition resulting in social, economic, and environmental risks and opportunities are equitably distributed among stakeholders according to their capacity and conditions. A JT also affirmatively enables vulnerable underserved stakeholders to participate in decision-making that mitigates the risks and captures benefits from opportunities.

Advancing a just energy transition as defined above requires a systematic approach to mitigating risk and enhancing opportunities across all areas impacted by JETP activities. Therefore, the CIPP contains a JT Framework that can help to guide stakeholders to identify all areas in which JETP investments may have positive or negative impacts.

Further elaboration on Just Transition definition and theory can be found in Chapter 6 of the CIPP.
