Abstract

The transition to Scotland becoming a net zero economy by 2045 will lead to a transformation of many parts of Scotland’s economy. Ensuring that the upheaval does not cause significant harm to the workers affected is an ongoing concern of the Scottish Government, and a ‘Just Transition’ approach has been developed to mitigate negative impacts and to ensure emerging opportunities are shared widely.
