Climate Advisers dives into what a just transition for fossil fuel-dependent communities in the U.S. might look like with examples of past initiatives, President Biden’s plans, and challenges to overcome.

Looking at case studies from California, Appalachia, Colorado, New Mexico and more, Climate Advisers defines what a just transition is and the pathways for implementing solutions for communities across the country over the next few years.
