Supporter briefing on Just Transition to a Low Carbon Economy

The urgent need to stop greenhouse gas emissions, the opportunities of new and green jobs, declining employment in oil and gas and the desire to promote social justice require a Just Transition from fossil fuel dependence, moving to a modern low-carbon economy in ways which protect workers and livelihoods, create a new industrial base and deliver a fairer Scotland. This approach is essential in order to create popular support for the transition and so ensure that it actually happens.
