This book investigates the challenge of achieving a just transition towards a net-zero carbon economy by drawing lessons from two carbon-intensive sectors: coal-based energy generation and the automobile industry. We regard just transition not as an abstract concept but as a real practice in real workplaces. While decarbonisation is a common objective, concrete transitions take place in work environments that are determined by the capital-labour relationship and its conflicts of interest. This is where the role of trade unions and social dialogue is key. The cases in this book demonstrate major differences between the two sectors as regards the nature and the magnitude of the challenge, but also in the practices applied and the roles played by actors; together, they represent the ‘two faces’ of a just transition.
