Dr. Larry O'Connell:

We agree. I am interested in the project. I am only pointing out that part of the NESC's approach on the issue would be trying to probe some of the complexities. There are some when one tries to figure out some of these things.

There is a clear recommendation in the climate action plan that the NESC have a role in monitoring the just transition as the climate plan is implemented. We are very interested in that work. One of the big challenges is how does one identify who is the most vulnerable and impacted on by the transition. Transport is one area that arises for consideration in that context. When one models it, the high-level transport sector emerges in the ESRI's analysis. For information, one piece of work we propose to do is qualitative research in the transport sector to identify some of the workers who would be most vulnerable in the low carbon transition.
