There has been an increasing awareness of the need for Ireland to take decisive action to improve its environmental performance and meet its climate-related targets.
Social Justice Ireland has long been emphasising the need to carry out the necessary changes in a just fashion. This concept has come to be known as “Just Transition”.
In this podcast, Eamon Murphy sits down with Sinéad Mercier, Advisor to the Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action, to discuss the concept of a Just Transition, including what it is; what its implications are for Ireland; what can we learn from international examples, including in Germany and Australia; and the benefits of allowing communities to lead in relation to climate action.
