  • Description: This article will demonstrate that, given the complexity of inequalities in the climate-environment-social nexus, fragmented policies for a just transition that focus on only one dimension of inequality will not deliver the results needed to justify proclaiming a ‘just transition for all’. By reframing the sustainability trilemma for the case of the climate emergency and deconstructing the concept of a ‘just transition’ based on the relevant literature and selected case studies, we shall highlight some of the concept’s inherent contradictions. The article will argue that a holistic approach requires a reframing of the role of the welfare state.
