WIN WIN Laureate Lecture 2024
Tid 16 Oktober 2024 13:15 – 15:00
Plats Linnésalen, Seminariegatan 1B, Gothenburg
The University of Gothenburg, in partnership with Chalmers University of Technology, invites you to the WIN WIN Laureate Lecture 2024.
This seminar offers a unique opportunity to explore the visionary work of this year’s laureates, the ITUC Just Transition Centre and Natur og Ungdom. Both organisations are leading efforts to ensure the green transition is inclusive and fair. Their dedication to social justice and sustainability is helping shape a future where environmental progress benefits all. Attendees will gain valuable insights into their contributions towards a more equitable and resilient world.
Inclusive Transition
As the effects of climate change grow increasingly palpable, we need rapid, large-scale societal changes within a short period. These changes can cause uncertainty, conflict, and resistance. To achieve a successful green transition, it is crucial that it is both inclusive and fair. The theme for the WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award 2024 is therefore 'Inclusive Transition’.
WIN WIN Award Laureate: Just Transition Centre
The Just Transition Centre is an international centre founded by the global trade union ITUC. Functioning as a global nexus of knowledge and collaboration, the JTC unites workers, unions, employers, and governments to ensure that the voices of labour are not just heard but actively involved in shaping the transition to a greener future.
Youth Award laureate: Natur og Ungdom
Natur og Ungdom is the largest environmental and climate organisation for young people in Norway. In the spring of 2023, Natur og Ungdom and Norwegian oil union members presented their collective "Ten Commandments for Green Industry," outlining principles for an inclusive transition to a green economy that benefits workers, society, and nature.
