This week’s contributors: Caroline Elliott (Welcome!), Murad Hemmadi, and Jaskaran Sandhu

UPDATE: The Green Party released their platform after we recorded the episode, which includes a section on a just transition for workers via introducing a Just Transition Act before the end of 2021 that would take care of workers during the climate transition.
