Introducing Just Transition

What is it Just Transition?
The phrase Just Transition can mean very different things. It has it’s origins in the US labour and environmental justice movement, and is now used to refer to a shift towards environmental sustainability that is also an opportunity to create a more just, fair and equitable world. We like this definition from the Climate Justice Alliance:

“Just Transition is a vision-led, unifying and place-based set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.”

If you want to explore this in more detail, Rona Hardie offers a short introduction into Just Transition here – What is Just Transition? (9mins) – in our Transition Alive to the Call of Justice session, or Movement Generation’s Just Transition Zine, “From BAnkS And TAnkS To CooperATion And CAring”
You can take a closer look at Movement Generations’ “Strategy Framework for a Just Transition” as presented in Rona’s video presentation.
