I believe strongly in the need for a just transition, and this depends on the acknowledgment that we are transitioning. This means that many people who have worked for many years in one industry will need to leave that industry and move to a new and different industry, and that involves them being skilled, or reskilled, and re-employed. Often what happens in those situations is that the person who has lost their old job and salary must go out to find, arrange and pay for training, then participate in the training and pass it and then find themselves a new job. That is extremely expensive and inconvenient and leaves people facing that transition alone and carrying that emotional burden.
