Summary:

This book by Chrislain Eric Kenfack explores the concept of 'just transition' in the context of climate change and job creation, particularly in the global South, with a focus on South Africa. It examines the environmental crisis and global unemployment as intertwined challenges that require urgent solutions. The book highlights the One Million Climate Jobs Campaign in South Africa as a model for transitioning to a low-carbon economy while ensuring social and economic justice. Through critical cultural approaches and case studies, it advocates for sustainable development that integrates ecological social justice with state intervention. Targeted at scholars and policymakers, it aims to promote research, networking, and advocacy for creating green jobs and addressing climate change. Generated by AI.
