Supporting developing countries' climate transitions
A just transition for all cannot end at the UK’s borders; rather, a truly just transition must be internationalist in perspective, founded on the principle of solidarity and in the recognition of the UK’s colonial history and outsize responsibility for the climate crisis. The Green New Deal will transform the UK’s international finance, trade and aid policies to combat the climate crisis; provide a clear internationalist strategy that reflects the UK’s historical and current responsibility for the climate crisis and global inequality; and ensure that the transition to zero carbon does not contribute to extractivism and exploitation in developing countries.
