ABOUT IHRB'S WORK ON JUST TRANSITIONS
The Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) is an established thought leader on the human rights and social implications of the global transition to net-zero, with a foundation of authoritative analysis and convenings on the principled and pragmatic approaches required.&nbsp;
We know from long experience on business and human rights that &ldquo;just&rdquo; processes and outcomes will not be an automatic outcome of industrial systems change; they will need to be intentionally planned and monitored. IHRB&rsquo;s Just Transitions programme seeks to identify and understand the foreseeable bottlenecks and barriers to realising the human rights and social imperatives of net-zero transitions in practice. This encompasses both public- and private-sector responses to the climate crisis, across the multiple levels and complex timescales at play.&nbsp;
Our ultimate aim is to ensure that the rights and agency of the workers, communities, indigenous peoples, consumers, and all the other groups aﬀected by the transition is at the centre of decision making, and that those designing and implementing transition strategies are truly accountable to them. This means working with all actors &ndash; local and national governments; ﬁnancial institutions across public, private, and blended finance; companies across the green value chain; leaders from worker, indigenous, community, and consumer groups; intergovernmental institutions; philanthropy; and academia &ndash; to learn, share, and continuously improve approaches.
In particular, the Just Transitions Programme Manager will support the Head of Just Transitions to implement a number of multi-year research, policy-inﬂuencing, and ecosystem-building projects, including but not limited to:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETP)</li>
