This online session is a collaboration between two IEMA initiatives: the Green Careers Hub and the Diverse Sustainability Initiative. A just transition means greening the economy in a way that is as fair and inclusive as possible to everyone, creating decent work opportunities and leaving no one behind. With green technologies and renewable energy source increasing across the UK, it’s vital that everybody is given the opportunity to develop green skills and play their part.
