The Challenges of a Just Transition with Dr Simona Capisani

In any transition, there are inevitably winners and losers, but can we make a fossil fuel-free future fair, or as fair as possible while still delivering change at the necessary pace? To dig deep into this conundrum, I'm joined by Dr Simona Capisani, Assistant Professor of Environmental Philosophy at Durham University. Here's what we discuss:Defining a just transitionGiven the global poor will bear the brunt of climate change, is any transition a 'just transition'?Can just transition issues be used as a cover for 'predatory delay' by bad actors?Selling fairness in an age of political populismHow sustainability managers should address just transition within their organisation's climate strategy.Simona refers to the Australian Community Power Agency and the US Climate & Community Institute for more guidance.This episode is brought to you by Terra Infirma Ltd - bringing Sustainability to Life Hosted on Acast.
