Join us for the inaugural meeting of the Just Transition Journal and Book Club! Just Transition is a concept that connects social justice, ecological conservation and decarbonisation of economies. This journal and book club seeks to critically and collaboratively explore key literature in this field, including both foundational and novel articles and books, and examine their relevance for sustainable development from the lenses of our experience and practices, knowledge and hopes.
The event will involve discussion of the following articles:
Stark, A., Gale, F., & Murphy-Gregory, H. (2023). Just Transitions’ Meanings: A Systematic Review. Society & Natural Resources, 36(10), 1277–1297. https://doi.org/10.1080/08941920.2023.2207166 (open access)
