I wrote about just transition in Brazil for UNRISD - TLDR, lots of different impacts, from new kinds of energy, from old ones, with different implications for different groups (some hit urban, some indigenous, some quilombolos, some labor) www.unrisd.org/en/library/p...
Really interesting and plausible parsing of who was on which side of a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels at COP30
And here's the shorter, seven page version: www.unrisd.org/en/library/p...

6:30pm Wed 21 Jan | Steffen Hertog | Ticket Required | Free public event at LSE
An international network of social science researchers focused on understanding the cultural and institutional dynamics of the political conflict over climate change
SCOOP: Carbon Brief has exclusively obtained a list of 84 countries "opposed" to adding a fossil-fuel roadmap to COP30 deal – but our analysis found a series of contradictions & likely errors
For eg 14 on list are also roadmap "supporters"
