The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement, at its fifth session, requested the Chairs of the subsidiary bodies to prepare in a timely manner, with the assistance of the secretariat, an annual summary report on the dialogues held each year as part of the United Arab Emirates just transition work programme. This report, the first annual summary report, contains information on the two dialogues held in 2024 under the work programme, which focused on just transition pathways to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement through nationally determined contributions, national adaptation plans and long-term low-emission development strategies and on ensuring support for people-centric and equitable just transition pathways, with a focus on the whole‑of-society approach and the workforce, respectively. The summaries of each dialogue reflect the discussions held and include key findings, opportunities and barriers relevant to the topics.
