This approach emerged as a framework developed within the trade union movement to encompass a range of social interventions needed to secure workers' and frontline communities' jobs and livelihoods as economies shift to sustainable production. It is the conceptual keystone of the post-COP21 climate policy world. --Adapted from publisher description ER -
