Issue: Principles & Processes

Just Transition is a vision-led, unifying, and place-based set of principles, processes and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy. This means approaching production and consumption cycles holistically. The transition itself must be just and equitable, redressing past harms and creating new relationships of power for the future through reparations. If the process of transition is not just, the outcome will never be. Just Transition describes both where we are going and how we get there. 

Playing up the masculine character of the climate movement may attract more supporters. Describing the climate moThis study investigated some factors that might predict interest in engaging in climate activism. The study—using surveys—found that people who perceive that the pro-climate “issue public” (i.e., people who care most about climate change) has “positive masculine” traits are MORE likely to say they’re interested in engaging in climate activism. In contrast, the study found that people were NOT more likely to be interested in climate activism when they thought that the pro-climate issue public has “positive feminine” traits. Perceiving “negative masculine” traits associated with pro-climate issue publics was correlated with people being more interested in ANTI-climate activism.
