In emerging economies, for metrics to play an effective role in driving progress for both the net zero transition and social justice, monitoring needs to get closer to the ground. Here, Rob Macquarie and Judith Tyson explore what it takes to go beyond high-level talk about climate finance allocation and use national and domestic policy frameworks to track how climate transitions ‘walk the talk’ on just transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
