Embedding People and Just Transition: An Imperative for Climate Transition Plans
Recording May 22, 2025
Nature, climate, and people are deeply interconnected, meaning that climate action cannot be addressed and communicated in silos within companies. Climate change poses major threats to living and working conditions for people: workers and communities are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of ongoing climate change, as well as to the unintended consequences of business activities undertaken to achieve a net-zero future. Therefore, it is crucial to assess how climate-related decisions can create positive and negative outcomes for people and ensure that these considerations are managed and integrated into companies’ transition plans.
Join BSR and our guest speakers to explore the importance of embedding people and the just transition in Climate Transition Plans, how to communicate the connectivity, and what developments we can expect in the future.
