Just Transition Labour Centre: Inaugural Annual Policy Conference 2025

Overview: Through dialogue and collaboration, the conference provided delegates with an understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with South Africa’s Just Transition and the impacts faced by the working class and communities. It aimed to highlight critical insights from ongoing, evidence-based research projects and foster discussions on policy frameworks that balance environmental imperatives with social and economic justice. Ultimately, the conference represents a step forward in shaping sustainable and equitable transition pathways for the working class — ensuring that climate action protects livelihoods, promotes decent work, and places social justice at the core of South Africa’s economic transformation.
