This new episode is all about Just Transition. What exactly is Just Transition? What does it mean to different people around the globe, and what is the role of the EU? Shifting to a sustainable economy is something that affects all of society, but how the idea of ‘leaving no one behind’ is delivered, depends on people’s and country’s contexts.

In this episode, we look at this question from international perspectives. You will hear from civil society, youth, indigenous people, from the global north and the global south, as well as representatives of workers and employers. We met them in Bonn, Germany, at the United Nations climate change conference held a few weeks ago to prepare for the COP30 in Brazil.
You will also hear from researchers who support policy makers with scientific evidence.
Nthabi Mohlakoana is a researcher at the Delft University of Technology,
on the social aspects and governance of energy transitions and energy justice who talked to us about pathways to a just energy transition in South Africa.

And Detlef Van Vuuren, who leads ELEVATE, a project funded by the Horizon Europe programme that’s finding ways to integrate justice and equity into climate modelling.
