Just Transition and Equitable Climate Action Resource Center [Podcast Miniseries: Just Transition in Action]
As climate change impacts continue to intensify, how can governments and corporations take immediate climate action without harming the workers and communities whose incomes still depend on fossil fuels? The world needs a just transition — a shift toward a zero-emission economy that doesn’t leave people behind. The good news is this shift is already underway in many places, and we’re learning new things all the time about what works and what doesn’t.
Drawing on the snapshots compiled in WRI’s Just Transition and Equitable Climate Action Resource Center, this podcast series shares perspectives from people involved in just transition efforts around the world — coal plant workers, local politicians, public health activists, scientists and more — to paint a picture of what a just transition should look like.
