Six years ago, Hakan and his colleagues asked \u201cWhere are the workers' voices in the discussions and decisions about climate strategies?\u201d At that time no one was looking into fairness, inclusion, and justice in the context of climate action. Since then his research has uncovered inconvenient truths and best practices. In this conversation Michael and Hakan explore what is a \u201cJust Transition\u201d both theoretically and in practice. Hakan presents conclusions from his research, including his and his colleague\u2019s work on what they call the transition archetypes, while arguing that technological and efficiency paradigms will not solve the problem. Hakan also suggests alternative approaches.  \u201cJust transition is not happening. Strategies are still top-down. We're trying to shoehorn social justice into systems designed for profit.\u201d   \u201cDecarbonisation is framed around technology and efficiency. But what we need is democracy, inclusion, and behavioural change.\u201d  \u201cUnless we talk with people from the beginning, we will keep creating policies that harm the very communities we claim to protect.\u201d  For more information about this podcast and our guest expert, or to listen to other podcast conversations, please visit: https:\/\/sustainablefashionacademy.org\/stica\/climate-action-week-2025\/   ","author_name":"Big Closets Small Planet","author_url":"https:\/\/www.sustainablefashionacademy.org\/podcasts\/big-closets-small-planet","html":"
