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.
