Together Towards Sustainability
Just transition is not merely an idea but rather an attitude and a way of life. Bangladesh is one of the countries at risk of climate change due to its geographical location. In this region, people face ongoing problems like long-lasting poverty and the impacts of climate change. Join our venture and support us in combating these challenges and creating a just Bangladesh. Let’s build together a green country that is sustainable, inclusive and free of discrimination.
Welcome to Just Transition Bangladesh!
At Just Transition Bangladesh, we’re dedicated to creating a future for Bangladesh where economic development goes hand to hand with worker’s right, social justice and environmental sustainability. Our mission is to ensure that the transition towards a green and sustainable economy which benefits all Bangladeshis, especially those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, automation, economic inequality and in this process, ensure no one is left behind.
Why does Just Transition matter for Bangladesh?
In a country where millions are at risk from poverty, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, environmental degradation, automation, transitioning to a sustainable economy is not just an option- it’s a necessity. But, we believe that this transition must be justice, meaning it must prioritize the needs of workers, communities and future generations all together.
What We Do
We focus on advocating for policies that facilitate a fair transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. We engage in lobbying, awareness campaigns and skill development programs for workers. Additionally, we organize social dialogues and conduct research to address the negative impacts of automation and climate change on vulnerable groups, aiming to develop Just Transition policies based on their findings.
Advocacy
We engage in advocacy efforts to promote policies that prioritize a fair and equitable transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources. This includes lobbying governments and influencing decision-makers to implement supportive policies and regulations.
Awareness
Raising awareness about the importance of a Just Transition and its benefits for workers, communities and the environment is crucial. We conduct campaigns, disseminate flyers, spread posters to inform stakeholders about the need for and potential of transitioning to sustainable practices.
Skill Development
Conducting skill development trainings and workshops for vulnerable workers is a proactive approach we take to facilitate their transition to new technologies and industries, ensuring a smoother and more successful adaptation process. This includes tailored training programs, hands-on learning, technical soft skills etc.
Social Dialogue
We organize social dialogues at both local and national levels, engaging relevant stakeholders to discuss solutions pertaining to automation, climate change and other emerging challenges impacting vulnerable groups. We raise awareness of these issues among authorities and collaboratively decide on future actions to address them.
Research and Study
We conduct research and studies focusing on vulnerable groups to identify the negative impacts of automation and climate change on them. We also explore potential solutions and develop Just Transition policies based on our findings. Our activities include conducting surveys, analyzing data and preparing reports.
