Just Transition
Helping organisations integrate a just transition by prioritising affected stakeholders, creating decent work, and fostering collaboration.
Insights
The world is in the process of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. The rising importance of climate has necessitated action and, with it, rapid transitions to a green, decarbonised future. Countries and companies alike are making efforts to decarbonise, green their economies, and build resilience against climate change.
The transition to a greener future has highlighted the undeniable ties between people and place: when place is harmed or impacted by climate change, the people are too. The actions to achieve a low carbon future are trying to address the place part of the equation, but social action is the non-negotiable second piece. The principles of Just Transition, Climate Justice, and Environmental Justice help complete the equation to ensure that the world’s greener future also uplifts impacted workers and communities to ensure the climate-positive future is equitable and sustainable.
We support organisations to integrate a just transition in their decarbonisation journey. We do this by helping to prioritise stakeholders that are most affected by the transition to a low-carbon economy, create decent work opportunities, identify opportunities for public-private collaboration and leave no one behind.
Just Transition Solutions
By integrating a just transition into sustainability commitments, policies and practices, organisations can bridge the various agendas that exist at the nexus of environmental sustainability and social justice and impact. This can be achieved by integrating foundational principles that contribute to decarbonising actions and simultaneously reduce existing inequalities.
Anthesis can help you identify your organisation’s current state, including boundary of operations and supply chain, regulatory due diligence, and reporting expectations. We can then develop a strategy, time-bound roadmap, and key performance indicators that help you understand how a just transition aligns with your sustainability efforts, how to take swift and measurable action, and how to communicate progress along the way.

How to Implement a Just Transition
Just Transition is a set of principles and practices that ensure an equitable and just approach to maintaining a liveable planet.
