Terminology like ‘a green recovery’ where ‘no-one is left behind’ and ‘doughnut economies’ is commonplace.

But exactly what is a ‘just transition’ and how will it affect each of us – from how where we work, how much we earn, to where we holiday and what we consume?

Join the discussion on how Scotland’s move to a net zero and globally competitive and sustainable economy will affect you. And how do we avoid a repeat of 1980s mass unemployment when market forces and a transition to de-industrialisation destroyed so many communities?

Chair: Claire Baker MSP, Economy and Fair Work Committee

Panellists:

Dr Poonam Malik, University of the Highlands and Islands

Professor Jim Skea, Co-chair of working group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Chair of Just Transition Commission, Scotoland

Councillor Angus Millar, Chair of Environment, Sustainability and Carbon Reduction Committee, Glasgow City Council
