Beyond the Noise: The far from just transition

CommonSpace Podcasts

Beyond the Noise is a Source news podcast where David Jamieson goes deeper into the issues behind the headlines. This week Jamieson speaks to Pete Cannell and Willie Black of Scot E3, a group drawing together trade unionists and climate activists for a 'Just Transition' from fossil fuel. They discuss: 2:43 – Does the idea of a ‘Just Transition’ exist beyond mere rhetoric at the current time? 11:15 – Is there a lack of a ‘big picture’ for a major industrial strategy around green economic renewal? 22:30 – Is there a danger that a vicious cycle develops, where government inaction informs fears of de-industrialisation. 3:30 – How should trade unionists and climate activists respond to COP26 in 2021?
