Real-world examples of just transitions - what can we learn?
23 October 2024
‘I believe in the power of stories to inspire change.’
As the world grapples with the urgent need to achieve net zero, the conversation around how this impacts communities, workers, and indigenous populations is more critical than ever.
What can we learn from real-world examples of transitions as they play out in countries at the centre of climate action, such as Brazil, home to the Amazon rainforest and host of COP30 in 2025?
In this episode of our Voices podcast, IHRB’s Haley St Dennis is joined by Brazilian journalist Leonardo Sakamoto to discuss the human rights impacts of the country’s climate action. Leonardo, who has campaigned for many years against forced labour in Brazil, shares insights on the challenges of getting to net zero whilst still empowering communities and respecting workers' rights, and examples of where this is and isn’t working.
