What's a just transition – and why does it matter?
At the Bonn climate talks this week, we're calling for a transition away from fossil fuels that delivers affordable clean energy, good jobs and greater equality.
🎥 Leon Sealey-Huggins, our Senior Climate Justice campaigner, explains.
As our partners Censat Agua Viva and La Guajira le Habla al País argue, La Guajira needs a closure plan that protects workers, respects community rights & repairs environmental harm.
This should be part of a broader just transition away from fossil fuels – and towards better futures for all.
In Neuquén, in northern Argentine Patagonia, communities living alongside the Vaca Muerta fracking mega-project say they are losing access to water while toxic waste accumulates near their homes.

Communities in La Guajira, Colombia, have forced Cerrejón – one of the world's largest open-pit coal mines – to suspend operations.
During the blockade, owner Glencore moved to suspend workers' contracts, before later resuming operations.

Communities are demanding access to water and basic services, a say in decisions about their territories, and a fair share of the wealth extracted from their lands.
Cerrejón's licence expires in 2034. With production already declining – the question is not whether the mine will close, but how.
Argentina’s far-right government blames Indigenous Mapuche communities for the wildfires that have devastated Patagonia in recent years.
But judicial investigations have found no evidence to support this – despite officials suggesting links to “terrorism”.
The real evidence points elsewhere. ⬇️
