============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I move amendment No. 16:
In page 7, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following:
“ ‘just transition principles’ are the importance of taking action to reduce net emissions of greenhouse gases in a way which—
(a) supports environmentally and socially sustainable jobs,
(b) supports low-carbon investment and infrastructure,
(c) develops and maintains social consensus through engagement with workers, trade unions, communities, non-governmental organisations, representatives of the interests of business and industry and such other persons as the Minister considers appropriate,
(d) creates decent, fair and high-value work in a way which does not negatively affect the current workforce and overall economy,
(e) contributes to resource efficient and sustainable economic approaches which help to address inequality and poverty;”.
