View this email in your browser WEBINAR Just Transition and Care: An International Inquiry 📅 20 November 2025 🕟 15:30–17:00 CET 📍  Online Register The uptake of the just transition concept among policy makers has grown rapidly within the last two decades, becoming integrated in programmes and strategies by governments, as well as bilateral and multilateral development agencies. Through this process, the original broad social justice character has tended to be reduced, becoming increasingly associated with the politics of decarbonization. Nevertheless, the past few years have seen new research, policy proposals and initiatives that incorporate additional sectors—including food, biodiversity, health, and education—into the politics of just transition. This webinar presents new research that contributes to the reframing of just transition by focusing on several forms of care work that bridge formal and informal, waged and unwaged labour. Programme Opening remarks Magdalena Sepúlveda Carmona, Director of United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) Stefania Barca, University of Santiago de Compostela/CISPAC, JTC founder and coordinator Presentation of the report methodology and key finding Rocio Hiraldo, University of Oslo and JTC coordinator Eleonora Gea Piccardi, University of Coimbra and JTC coordinator Panel Discussion: Why this report matters—Importance, challenges and opportunities for integrating care into just transition strategies Emuanuela Pozzan, Senior Specialist, Gender Equality, International Labour Organization (ILO) Devan Pillay, Research Associate and former Head of Global Labour University and Dept of Sociology, University of the Witwatersrand David Boys, Deputy General Secretary, Public Service International (PSI) Questions and comments from the audience Zoe Brent, Senior Research Specialist, Environmental and Climate Justice Programme, UNRISD—Moderator Concluding remarks Dimitris Stevis, Professor, Colorado State University and JTC coordinator Register Report Launch   This new UNRISD report, from the international Just Transition and Care network (JTC), and to be launched at the webinar, is based on an international "workers’ inquiry" process involving actors in different areas of care work, collecting their perspectives on the social and ecological challenges they face and what they see as necessary to tackle them, with particular attention to just transition strategy. The sectors examined include housework and care for people; peasant and Indigenous food provision; environmental care; healthcare; and education.
