In this episode, Nick Robins, a veteran in climate change and sustainable finance, discusses with Simon Messenger and David Carlin the critical importance of a Just Transition for successful climate action. As Professor at the London School of Economics and pioneer in sustainable finance, he highlights how the concept emerged from the labour movement to ensure fairness for workers and communities during the shift to a green economy. Nick helps us understand how the Just Transition isn't just about environmental policy but also about human rights, labour standards, and community development.
Join us to find out more about how governments, corporations, and financial institutions can play a role in ensuring a fair transition as well as the potential pitfalls, such as poorly designed climate policies that disproportionately affect low-income populations.
This episode is a must-listen for understanding the complexities and opportunities in achieving a fair transition to a low-carbon economy.
