How to Save the Energy Transition: What Coal Scholars Can See Coming, and What to Do About It
The energy transition requires rapid, coordinated retirement of essentially all fossil fuel infrastructure with careful attention to impacts on workers and affected communities. Experience with the decline of the US coal industry offers a wide range of lessons about the phase-out of energy systems, including the inadequacy of a market-mediated transition given predictable increases in risk tolerance by successive private owners, emergent failure …
The emergence of intra-labour organizing: A case study analysis of the Climate Jobs National Resource Center movement in the USA
The emergence of the Climate Jobs National Resource Center and the support from several unions for the Inflation Reduction Act are recent examples of the US labour movement supporting climate action. Given the historical tension between labour movements and environmental/climate movements, does this recent support for climate policy from US unions signify a new era in Blue-Green relations? We argue that the marked increase in climate advocacy doe…

Negotiating just transitions: Power and Interest Dynamics in Insurgent Sustainability Coalitions
Politics and power are increasingly central to the study of sustainability transitions, including just transitions. One line of research differentiates between incumbent coalitions that resist and insurgent coalitions that promote these transitions. More recently, there has been attention on the politics and power within these coalitions and the implications of who participates and how for the kinds of policy preferences that emerge. Here, we foc…
Securing Climate Justice Federally: A Political Economy Approach to Targeted Investments
How can the federal Justice40 policy framework tackle climate change and social inequalities at the same time and in the same places? We adopt a political economy approach. We situate environmental injustice in the context of long-standing racist patterns of public–private investments in the United States, especially in housing, through practices such as redlining, transportation, and industrial development. We argue that any policy approach aimi…
Just transition: Framing, organizing, and power-building for decarbonization
Climate and Environmental Justice Policies in the First Year of the Biden Administration
When President Biden took office in January 2021, it was widely expected that he would reverse Trump-era policies and take steps to address climate change, racial justice, and rising inequality. Then-candidate Biden made strong commitments to addressing the climate crisis, including stating that “the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face.” But with the parties evenly split in the Senate, this meant legis…
A Green New Deal for all: The centrality of a worker and community-led just transition in the US
A just transition for whom? Politics, contestation, and social identity in the disruption of coal in the Powder River Basin
Emergent Cultures of Activism: Young People and the Building of Alliances Between Unions and Other Social Movements
This article considers emergent cultures of activism among young people in the labor movement. The authors question whether unions should reconsider creating different forms of organization to make themselves relevant to new generations of workers. Our comparative case study research from the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom-where young people are engaged in 'alter-activism' and unions have successfully recruited and include…
