Showing results for "Just Transitions" in Science & Engineering

In just a few short decades, the many countries of our planet have become interconnected beyond our wildest imaginations. While thinking globally is often well-meaning, acting globally without consideration for local countries can unintentionally cause harmful results. In A Just Transition, renowned Cameroonian author and entrepreneur NJ Ayuk reveals how this sobering reality is unfolding as the International Energy Agency’s ambitious green energy (IEA) policies have stifled and crippled the energy economies of Africa.

In Series 1 of this podcast from Context, join host Iman Amrani and our journalists in Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Iceland, India and the United States to hear extraordinary stories about how the Just Transition is ...

The Science is clear: We must phase out fossil fuels to secure a livable world. But how can we inspire transformational change to our energy systems at the scale required to meet the climate challenge? Could a more hope-based story advance progress towards solutions? It is our belief that the sharing of ideas and innovations through successful just energy stories will promote conversations, connections, new thinking and learning of how everyone can take local action to make massive positive change. Listen and discover the power of conversations worth having and stories that connect us all.
