Robust breakaway sessions to ensure that everyone has a voice in crafting actionable solutions on the energy transition. A key point: organised labour must at all levels (from the shop floor to international trade unions) speak the same language of justice required in this transition.

The transition is real - but the “just” is not guaranteed. Dr Martin Kaggwa’s article, Just energy transition – just who gets left behind?, is now live on the BusinessBrief website. It explores the contested meaning of “just” in energy debates, with a focus on South Africa’s unemployment crisis and coal dependency. The piece offers sharp analysis of global transition narratives and underscores the need for G20 deliberations to prioritise livelihoods, honesty and social justice over rhetoric.
