Why the energy transition must be more than a fuel source replacement, and how we can seize the opportunity of the transition to build a more just future for all.
To meet the greenhouse gas emissions reductions needed to stave off the worst impacts of climate change, a transition away from fossil fuels must occur, as quickly as possible. But there are many unknowns when it comes to moving from theory to implementation for such a large-scale energy transition, to say nothing of whether this transition will be "just." In A Just Transition for All, J. Mijin Cha--a seasoned climate policy researcher who also works with advocacy organizations and unions--offers a comprehensive analysis of how we can actualize a just transition in the U.S. context and enact transformational changes that meaningfully improve people's lives.
Cha provides a novel governance framework called the "Four+ Pillars," formulated from original research to provide a way to move from theory to practice. The "Pillars" framework includes a novel analysis that guides readers in understanding how to formulate effective just transition policies, what makes them just or unjust, and, similarly, what makes transition just and unjust. The framework also combines theoretical discussions with original empirical research and provides insights into perceptions of just transition. Grounded in real-world perspectives that make the case for policies that advance a just transition for all, not just fossil fuel workers, Cha charts the path forward to an equitable and sustainable future that no longer depends on fossil fuels.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
為什麼能源轉型必須超越燃料來源的替換，以及我們如何把握這次轉型的機會，為所有人建立一個更公正的未來。
為了達到減少溫室氣體排放的目標，以避免氣候變遷帶來的最嚴重影響，必須儘快從化石燃料轉型。然而，從理論到實施這樣大規模的能源轉型過程中，存在許多未知數，更不用說這次轉型是否會是「公正」的。在《為所有人實現公正轉型》中，J. Mijin Cha——一位經驗豐富的氣候政策研究者，同時也與倡導組織和工會合作——提供了一個全面的分析，探討我們如何在美國的背景下實現公正轉型，並進行有意義的變革，以改善人們的生活。
Cha 提出了名為「四大支柱」的創新治理框架，這一框架源自原始研究，旨在提供一種從理論轉向實踐的方法。「支柱」框架包括一種新穎的分析，指導讀者理解如何制定有效的公正轉型政策，什麼使這些政策公正或不公正，以及同樣地，什麼使轉型公正或不公正。該框架還結合了理論討論與原始實證研究，並提供了對公正轉型認知的見解。Cha 以現實世界的觀點為基礎，主張推進所有人（不僅僅是化石燃料工人）的公正轉型政策，並描繪出通往一個不再依賴化石燃料的公平和可持續未來的道路。
