Description

Canada is one of the world's largest exporters of oil and gas. Much of that oil moves through pipelines that run through lands where the country's original inhabitants, or First Nations, live. 
The history of Canada's relationship with its 1.67 million First Nations communities is heavy with brutal violence, abuse and marginalisation.
In 2015, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission called for the country to build a better relationship with First Nations in all aspects of life and work, including “economic reconciliation.”
With growing demand for renewable energy and a reduction in oil and gas use, what does that reconciliation look like?

How do we tackle the climate crisis without neglecting people whose livelihoods depend on polluting industries?  And what happens when they’re left behind? A Just Transition is about transforming the economy in ways that are fair for everyone - whether you mine coal or crypto, whether you work in the city or on a plantation, whether you’re an activist or an industrialist. In Series 1 of this podcast from Context, join host Iman Amrani and our journalists in Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Iceland, India and the United States to hear extraordinary stories about how the Just Transition is playing out across the globe.
