Dear members and supporters, We are very excited to announce the release of From Crisis to Transformation: A Just Transition Primer that GGJ is launching this week in collaboration with the Transnational Institute, co-authored by Kali Akuno, Katie Sandwell, Lyda Fernanda Forero, and Jaron Browne. We are
excited to launch this today in Arabic, Spanish, and English. Over the weeks ahead, we will be adding translations in Bahasa, French, and
Portuguese. This Just Transition Primer evolved over years of development in response to global allies’ requests for more articulation of the strategy of Just Transition from the perspective of popular movements. This Just Transition Primer explores the root causes of the climate crisis, and argues that we need transformative and anti-capitalist visions to bring us “from crisis to transformation.” What do we mean when we call for Just Transition? What does this concept and
strategy entail, and how can we put it into practice? GGJ and TNI are very grateful to Hamza Hamouchene and Tchenna Maso for their contributions of sections on Just Transition in North Africa and the Brazilian Movement of People Affected by Dams, respectively. The authors also extend their gratitude to Jose Bravo, Zoe Brent, Daniel Chavez, Jennifer Franco, Tom Goldtooth, Hamza Hamouchene, Chloe Henson, Angela Mahecha, Sara Mersha, Karin Nansen, Pietje Vervest, and Cindy Wiesner for their helpful and insightful comments on drafts of this publication and to all who shared their wisdom with us throughout the writing process. |
