- +Why living wage is crucial for just transition?
Beschreibung (English)
- +A just transition cannot be achieved without fundamentally rethinking how wealth is generated, distributed, and utilized, and without ensuring that every worker earns a living wage. These two elements are intertwined, aiming to create an economic system that is not only environmentally sustainable but also socially equitable and inclusive i.e without the redistribution of wealth.
- +
- +The concept of a just transition emphasizes ensuring that the global shift towards a sustainable, net-zero economy happens in a way that is fair and inclusive, leaving no one behind. Within this framework, the redistribution of wealth and the guarantee of living wages are absolutely crucial, especially when considering global supply chains and multinational corporations.
- +
- +The current economic system, heavily reliant on fossil fuels and heavily reliant on exploitative labour practices in global supply chains, has led to significant wealth concentration and exacerbated inequalities. Climate change disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities and countries in the Global South that have contributed the least to the crisis. A just transition demands acknowledging these historical injustices and rebalancing the economic sphere.
- +
- +Multinational corporations benefit from poverty wages in their global supply chains. A just transition demands that these corporations take responsibility for the social and environmental impacts across their entire value chain. Ensuring living wages is a key step in rectifying past exploitation and establishing more ethical and sustainable business practices.
