‘Just Transition’ has been used by the labour movement to express how they think workers in fossil-fuel intensive industries need to be supported to move into low-carbon jobs so they do not lose out in the transition to a zero carbon economy. Green House contributors have written on how this can be achieved in a variety of sectors including agriculture, aviation and mining.
