This project takes up the question of 'Just Transition' (JT), which directlyrelates to the CEL Pathway's concern with the 'grand challenges' ofpoverty, social exclusion, climate change and environmental degradation.JT has emerged as a key concept in the labour and climate movements. Itstresses the need to secure de-carbonisation in a way that minimises harmto workers and communities in affected sectors. The project begins from asimple but important observation: that 'just transition', while ubiquitious inclimate debates, is actually understood very differently in different nationaland institutional contexts, in line with CEL's focus on geographical diversity.Drawing on the tradition of comparative political economy, the project willexplore how JT discourse has been mobilised across three differentnational economies - the UK, Poland, and South Africa - and will charthow different models of capitalism generate different incentives for labourand climate movements. By combining in-depth scholarly argument with acredible strategy for engaging relevant stakeholders, the project will deliverthe first attempt to chart diverse pathways towards JT, making a keycontribution to the Pathway's central thematic concerns.

该项目提出了“公正转型”（JT）问题，这与 CEL 途径对贫困、社会排斥、气候变化和环境退化等“重大挑战”的关注直接相关。JT 已成为劳工和气候运动中的一个关键概念。它强调需要以尽量减少对受影响部门工人和社区的伤害的方式确保脱碳。该项目从一个简单但重要的观察开始：“公正转型”虽然无处不在的气候辩论，但实际上在不同的国家和制度背景下有非常不同的理解，这与 CEL 对地理多样性的关注相一致。借鉴比较政治经济学的传统，该项目将探索 JT 话语如何在三个不同的国家经济体（英国、波兰和南非）中动员起来，并将绘制不同的资本主义模式如何产生的图表 对劳动力和气候运动采取不同的激励措施。通过将深入的学术论证与吸引相关利益相关者的可信策略相结合，该项目将首次尝试绘制通向 JT 的不同途径，为该途径的中心主题问题做出关键贡献。
