Extreme inequality is bad for people and bad for business. It causes instability, violence and uncertainty, slowing growth and diminishing levels of trust and social cohesion. The effects of climate change are already disproportionately impacting vulnerable economies and deepening global inequality. Just Share convened a seminar for finance and energy experts to propose and debate practical, achievable steps - big and small- that the financial sector can take to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, without stranding vulnerable communities and deepening inequality. This presentation by Jesse Burton – Energy Systems Research Group, UCT & E3G is entitled: Coal transitions: risks & opportunities.
