Part one | Just Transitions in Australia: Moving Towards Low Carbon Lives Across Policy, Industry and Practice
A transition to a low-carbon economy is perhaps nowhere more crucial or contested than in Australia, a continent on the front line of global heating and climate change-induced bushfires, drought, flash floods and extreme temperatures. The heavy reliance on extractive industries for coal and minerals exposes some of the political and structural lock-ins to highly carbonised industries and lifestyles.
This three part webinar series is funded by the British Academy Just Transitions project and brought to you by the Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL) and Monash University.
Part one | Just Transitions in Australia: Moving Towards Low Carbon Lives Across Policy, Industry and Practice
The Just Transitions in Australia report aggregates new and existing research to examine actual, possible, partial and failed, examples of ‘just transitions’ across multiple sectoral and societal domains (work, energy and industry, mobility, home, technologies). The project builds on a research partnership between Royal Holloway University of London, Monash and a wider network of researchers and advisors in Australia to examine ‘just transitions’ to decarbonisation.
This webinar, the first in a series of three, will present an overview of the Just Transitions in Australia project. Professor Peter Adey (Royal Holloway University of London) will outline the ways that the report identifies, collates and examines different examples of ‘just transition’, cases of good and bad practice, and evaluates their transferability. Panellists Felicity Wade (from XYZ), Reuben Berg (from XYZ), Janet Hunt ANU (from XYZ) have been invited to respond to the findings of the draft report.
Hosted by Monash Sustainable Development Institute
