Just Transition events at COP26 in Glasgow

The Just Transition Partnership was launched by the Scottish Trades Union Congress and Friends of the Earth Scotland in 2016 in a joint statement also signed by various trade unions and environment campaigns.  It highlights the need for action by governments to secure a just transition for workers in the decarbonisation of employment.  The Partnership is helping organise a series of events aimed at trade union and worker organisations at the Glasgow COP26.  These are detailed in a JTP mailing from which we have extracted the following list of events below.  You can contact the Just Transition Partnership here.
