World Resources Institute   /     WRI Big Ideas Into Action #54: Just Transition in Australia

Description

What happens to the workers and communities connected to an Australian coal-fired power station when it is closed down? As the world shifts towards renewable energy more fossil fuel-fired power stations will close down. Learning from what's happened in previous case studies will help us to identify challenges, opportunities and solutions. This case study from Australia is the second in WRI's Just Transition In Action podcast series. In the opening episode we looked at the broad issues, and after this one we'll be looking at two further case studies in India and in the US. We’ve also got a special resource section of our website where you can find out much, much more – go to wri.org/just-transitions. Go to wri.org/podcasts for many more of these WRI podcasts on all sorts of environment-related issues from cities and energy to forests, oceans, restoration and food - or you can subscribe using any podcast app. And don't forget to rate us! Thank you.
