Just Transitions, EDI, Work and the Workplace

Principal Investigator: Rick Colbourne, Management

This literature review examines just transitions, EDI, work and the workplace. The emerging discipline, just transitions, is an approach to equitable policies and practices for workers and communities as climate change forces industry sectors and organizations to transition to a low-carbon economy. Currently, knowledge about just transitions is fragmented across disciplines, plus just transitions with a lens on EDI, work and workplaces is under-researched. By creating a multidisciplinary framework and identifying opportunities for future research, this review aims to facilitate a more equitable just transition for marginalized voices and communities.
