I move amendment No. 48:

In page 11, to delete lines 20 to 24 and substitute the following: “(k) the requirements for a just transition which is the importance of taking action to reduce net emissions of greenhouse gases in a way which—
(i) supports environmentally and socially sustainable jobs,

(ii) supports low-carbon investment and infrastructure,

(iii) 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,

(iv) creates decent, fair and high-value work in a way which does not negatively affect the current workforce and overall economy,

(v) contributes to resource efficient and sustainable economic approaches which help to address inequality and poverty;”.
