Our new seriesĀ A Just Transition: From Fossil Fuels to Environmental JusticeĀ charts the prospects and obstacles to the shift away from oil, gas and coal and explores the opportunity to create jobs in new cleanĀ industries.Ā 

Part One: the Kingdom of CoalĀ ā€”Ā In part one, we look at the history of energy in Fife, and begin to mine the prospects for a more sustainable future to meet our climateĀ crisis.

Part Two: the City ofĀ OilĀ ā€”Ā In part two, we look at Aberdeen, the fluctuating value of oil and the problems and opportunities in shifting to renewableĀ energyĀ 

Part Three: Centuries of ShaleĀ ā€”Ā In part three, we look at the totemic Grangemouth refinery, and what the plant means for the communities that depend onĀ it.

Part Four: the Hylands of HydroĀ ā€” in part four, we take a retrospective look at the successes of the Hydro board in the mid-20th century; a scheme which sets a precedent of a just transition in ScotlandĀ today.

We also commissioned a short film by Alan McCredie, exploring the complexities of a Just Transition through local voices. View it on Vimeo:
