Broadening engagement with just transition

The document addresses the need for effective communication regarding the 'just transition' to ensure that the move to a low-carbon economy is not perceived as a threat to the livelihoods and identities of workers in energy-intensive industries. It warns that failing to engage in respectful dialogue with affected parties risks undermining the transition process. The guidance is based on a literature review, interviews with union leaders conducted by the New Economics Foundation, and Climate Outreach's expertise in climate communications.

• The 'just transition' framework aims to support workers and communities impacted by the shift to a low-carbon economy by facilitating a managed transition into new roles.
• Lack of respectful and meaningful dialogue with those most directly affected by the energy transition creates a risk of undermining the overall transition process.
