Second Webinar in the Just Transition Research Collaborative Webinar Series Justice in Low-Carbon Transitions
📅 Wednesday 14 October, 10.00-11.15 CEST
As a grounded concept that originated in the North American labour movement, just transition places the well-being and livelihoods of workers and communities at the heart of transitions to sustainability and low-carbon futures. This second webinar in our JTRC series on justice in low-carbon transitions will examine how the spread of the concept to the international climate policy arena and around the world has influenced the role of workers in just transition efforts. It will highlight the role of both formal and informal workers and their organizations and explore the differences that shape just transitions as a worker movement in global North and South.
