| Abstract | Provides a collection of essays drawing on a range of perspectives from the global North and South to interrogate the overlaps, synergies and tensions between various understandings of the Just Transition approach. This approach emerged as a framework developed within the trade union movement to encompass a range of social interventions needed to secure workers' and frontline communities' jobs and livelihoods as economies shift to sustainable production. It is the conceptual keystone of the post-COP21 climate policy world. --Adapted from publisher description. |
