Changemaker: Sharan Burrow on Enabling Just Transition

Sharan Burrow has been the General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation since 2010, representing 200 million workers around the world. In her role, she advocates for the essential role of labor movements in shaping a just transition to a low-carbon economy.

In this Changemaker session, Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General of the UN Global Compact, speaks candidly with Sharan about what a just transition needs to look like, the political and social momentum needed to make it a reality, and what business leaders can learn from her experience.

During this session you will learn about:

• Sharan’s background, how it informs her perspective and inspires her work
• What a just transition means, and what drives Sharan toward this goal
• Practical ways in which businesses can apply just transition principles to address climate and social challenges
