Abstract: This report develops a set of principles-based recommendations for strategic national transition planning. The guidance is designed to steer, accelerate and coordinate whole-of-government and whole-of-economy action towards a just, low-emissions, climate-resilient and nature-positive future, while advancing sustainable development and energy security goals. On current policies, the world is significantly off-track in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. Given the scale of transformation required across the economy, governments must play a decisive role at the centre of a whole-of-system response – including through national transition planning. The report is accompanied by a Handbook to strategic national transition planning that contains supplementary guidance and examples. The two reports are designed to be read together.
