Climate change mitigation policies will transform industries, labour markets and societies worldwide, but who will stand to gain and who will lose? This book examines how unions and other global actors navigate tensions between advancing climate action and protecting workers’ interests.
Identifying opportunities and challenges that will dominate future debates and struggles, the authors demonstrate that the Just Transition is a contested concept with differing meanings across the world. Using case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, it explores varying socio-economic and political contexts and the competing interpretations of how we can achieve a Just Transition.
