This panel explores how rapid industrial change can be navigated in a way that delivers security, opportunity and fairness for workers and communities.
As technological innovation and the transition to a low-carbon economy reshape the world of work, the discussion will focus on how these shifts are being experienced on the ground across sectors such as steel, manufacturing, logistics and textiles. Panellists will examine what a genuinely “just transition” looks like in practice, how transition processes can better support workers through reskilling, redeployment and new economic opportunities, and what the future holds for workers transitioning into emerging industries and adapting their skills to new technologies.
