DEEP CLIMATE CONVERSATIONS
Topic: "Implementing Just Transition: Who Pays What to Whom and How”
Thursday, October 19
11:30-12:45 PM EST (8:30-9:45 am PST)
The Environmental Politics and Governance network (epgnetwork.org) has launched a new initiative, Deep Climate Conversations. This will be an online structured roundtable (i.e., questions circulated in advance to speakers) on a specific issue. The objective is to explore climate issues at a deeper, theoretical level.
This will be a 75-minute event: 60 minutes for discussion of planned questions, leaving about 15 minutes for comments from the audience.
Please register in advance here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Moderators

Panelists
Kathryn Harrison, University of British Columbia
Peter Newell, University of Sussex
Dimitris Stevis, Colorado State University
Dustin Tingley, Harvard University
The roundtable will focus on the following questions:
· From your perspective, what are the key debates on implementing just transition? Who takes what position in these debates, and what are the main areas of disagreement? How central are these debates to the politics of climate change?
· What do research and historical experience teach us about how the just transition should be structured? What sectors should it cover? Who should decide what resources are committed, when and how?
· From a cross-national perspective, are there differences in how just transition plays out in different contexts? For example, what role might foreign aid or international NGOs or other international mechanisms play in supporting this work in developing country contexts?
