To meet the greenhouse gas emissions reductions needed to stave off the worst impacts of climate change, a transition away from fossil fuels must occur, as quickly as possible. In this episode of The Cutting Edge, Environmental Studies professor Mijin Cha discusses why attention to the jobs and communities most affected by this transition is important, not just for ensuring social justice in the process, but for helping ensure the transition is a true transformation away from fossil fuels, and not just cosmetic reforms. Dr. Cha is the author of A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon Free Future
