The just transition policy agenda has emerged as an important umbrella term to discuss the fair distribution of the costs and opportunities of the net-zero transition. Part of this agenda in particular aims to ensure that the transition is an opportunity rather than a threat for local economies and workers.&nbsp; This webinar brings together a panel of experts and practitioners to explore the challenge of a just transition across local economies in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will discuss the local economic impacts of the net-zero transition, and ask: what do we mean by a just transition? what does success look like? Is it sufficient to focus on active labour market policies and access to skills and training, or is a whole economy approach needed? Finally, we will consider what institutional reforms may be needed to bring about a just transition given the history of regionally unbalanced growth and the weak record of regional growth policies to date in countering these trends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speakers and chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda Clarke<\/strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;Professor of European Industrial Relations in the Westminster Business School.
