“…This gap is evident in misaligned expectations around finance, levels of civil society and labour engagement, and assumptions about institutional and state capacity. For instance, although the social dialogue is central to the ILO's guidelines, the countries most in need of JT policies have limited social welfare systems and minimal civic space for stimulating social dialogues (Stevis, 2018). There is a mismatch between stylised JT processes based on European experiences, where there are active business engagements, strong trade unions and ample civic space; conditions which are often absent in other parts of the world and vary dramatically across contexts (Newell et al, 2022).…”

“…Originating from the United States' labour environ mentalism of the 1970s and 1980s, the concept of 'Just Transition' has now gained support from diverse national and global labour unions and environmental justice groups (Bainton et al, 2021;Stevis, 2023). This includes its adoption by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and backing from the ILO.…”

Mind the gap: The global governance of just transitions

Transitions away from fossil fuels need to be governed, financed, regulated and coordinated, patterns of production and innovation need to be steered and shaped by rulemaking bodies at all levels of authority. For this to happen across a highly uneven international system, global institutions have a vital role to play in supporting and implementing just transitions (JTs) that align with principles addressing the procedural, distributional, intergenerational and recognition based aspects of justice and which help to address the temporal and spatial as pects of transitions. In this paper, we review the ways in which global institutions are involved in the governance of JTs. We illustrate the roles these institutions are playing through three key areas vital to JTs: the (i) governance of finance (ii) labour protection and (iii) mobilising alternatives. To make sense of the diverse and uneven nature of these engagements and their implications, we explore in turn four key gaps in the way global institutions are approaching the issue of JTs.

A Green and Just Recovery from COVID-19?

Stimulus spending to address the economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to either facilitate the transition away from fossil energy or to lock in carbon-intensive technologies and infrastructure for decades to come. Whether they are focused on green sectors or not, stimulus measures can alleviate or reinforce socio-economic inequality. This Element delves into the data in the Energy Policy Tracker to assess the extent to which energy policies adopted during the pandemic will expedite decarbonization and explores whether governments address inequities through policies targeted to disadvantaged, marginalized and underserved individuals and communities. The overall finding is that the recovery has not been sufficiently green or just. Nevertheless, a small number of policies aim to advance distributive justice and provide potential models for policymakers as they continue to attempt to 'build back better'.

Environmental mega conferences have become the format of choice in environmental governance. Conferences of the Parties (COPs) under the climate change and biodiversity conventions in particular attract global media attention and an ever-growing number of increasingly diverse actors, including scholars of global environmental politics. They are arenas for interstate negotiation, but also temporary interfaces that constitute and represent world society, and they focalise global struggles over just and sustainable futures. Collaborative event ethnography (CEE) as a research methodology emerged as a response to these developments. This volume retraces its genealogy, explains its conceptual and methodological foundations and presents insights into its practice. It is meant as an introduction for students, an overview for curious newcomers to the field, and an invitation for experienced researchers wishing to experiment with a new method. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
