Just Transitions in Australia: The Future of Technology and Work
Presented by the Monash Faculty of Information Technology and Royal Holloway University of London
Join us in a series of three webinars to hear and discuss the main findings of an international research collaboration on just transitions to low carbon lives in Australia across energy, mobilities, the home, work and technology.
Host: Sarah Pink, Monash Emerging Technologies Research Lab
Researcher: Adam Badger, Ben Lyall , Monash University
Panelists: Lars Coenen, Western Norway University of Applied Science

Just Transitions in Australia: The Future of Technology and Work
Australia is confronting three dramatic transformations: a technology transformation towards digital, automated and connected t systems; a looming transition to a decarbonised way of life or ‘net zero’; and a changing form of work and labour in many key industries including energy, mining and agriculture.
Can these processes work in tandem? Where are they in tension? and how will they impact the labour market and training for Australians? What would Just Transitions look like in this context?
This research project is supported/funded by the British Academy’s Just Transition to Decarbonisation in the Asia-Pacific Programme
