In this final session of our webinar series, we will focus on power and politics and unpack what has happened to Just Transitions in the past 5 years since the Paris Agreement was adopted. The session will take stock of the debate and explore whether and how narratives of Just Transition have changed in terms of their ambitions, inclusiveness and the issues they address. Looking at more recent developments such as the Covid-19 pandemic, our panelists will reflect on discussions around the value of different kinds of work and the potential of using moments of crisis and change as an opportunity to put economies on a different, fairer, low-carbon path. The session will shed light on which key actors are driving Just Transitions and discuss what power and politics at play may mean for the future of Just Transition.
