A Just Transition For the Global South

How to strengthen the collective power of civil society, trade unions and politics in order to achieve a just and democratic green transition for the Global South

Learning from alliances and movements in the Philippines and South Africa, the Olof Palme International Center’s publication “A Just Transition for the Global South” provides elements to answer this fundamental question. 

“The international trade union movement has called for a ‘Just Transition’ towards a fossil-free, socially, economically and environmentally sustainable world. The switch to a climate-friendly economy must be fair to workers and all vulnerable people”, said Anna Sundström, Secretary General of the Olof Palme International Center and SOLIDAR International Cooperation Forum Co-Chair. 

The book was launched in the framework of the Stockholm+50 event at a workshop jointly organised by the Olof Palme International Center and SOLIDAR.
