To fight climate change, it is essential that we must move away from fossil fuels. As we transition from plans to actions, a key question arises: Who will benefit, and who will face the most significant challenges? Join us for a discussion with Dr. Mijin Cha, author of A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon-Free Future. We'll explore ways to ensure a fair transition together and examine how we're due for a strong justice-focused approach toward climate solutions.

J. Mijin Cha is an assistant professor of environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She is also a fellow at Cornell University's Climate Jobs Institute, a faculty advisory board member for the UCSC Center for Labor and Community, and a fellow at the Climate and Community Institute. Her book, A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon-Free Future, was published by MIT Press in Dec. 2024. Dr. Cha is on the board of Greenpeace Fund, emeritus board member with the Center on Race, Poverty, and the Environment, and a member of the California Bar.
