A Just Transition for All:
Workers and Communities for a Carbon-Free Future
with Dr. J. Mijin Cha
Sustainability Now! Sunday, November 24, 2024, 5-6 PM
To avert the worst impacts of climate change, a transition away from fossil fuels is necessary. However, what this transition looks like and what would make a transition “just,” remain open questions. What workers are missing from “green” economy discussions? What role do workers play in the fight for a future without fossil fuels? How can workers and communities ensure the transition is “just”?
Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with UCSC Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies J. Mijin Cha, whose new book, A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon-Free Future, will be published by MIT Press in December. Her research examines the intersection of inequality and the climate crisis in which the energy transition is leveraged to advance a more just future.
There will be a launch for Professor Cha’s book from 6-8 PM on December 5th, 2024 at London Nelson Center, 301 Center St., Santa Cruz. You can sign up to attend or watch remotely here.
