February Monthly Briefing: Enabling a Just Transition Our views on what matters |
|
Welcome to our first 2022 edition of the Monthly Briefing.
We open the year’s series with a bang, exploring the key role businesses need to play in a just transition to a low-carbon economy. Our main article explores this pivotal opportunity to leverage the power of business as a force for good, and identifies the three key elements to consider when starting or assessing your just transition process. Our three side stories explore why vulnerable communities in Asia are at risk of being left behind during the green transition; the need for a just transition, not only in developing but also in developed countries; and whether Larry Fink’s annual letter to CEOs has missed an opportunity.
We close with an unmissable blog by Gudrun Cartwright, sharing insights and reflections from the research commissioned by Business in the Community with YouGov for COP26. |
