Students will learn about the core mechanisms, policy frameworks and practices that supra-national and international organizations have adopted to facilitate the Just Transition (for instance, the EU’s Just Transition Mechanism; the International Labor Organization’s Guidelines for a Just Transition towards Environmentally Sustainable Economies and Societies for All), as well as national policy frameworks and their implementation in different countries. Specific objectives include engaging students in critical thinking and studying concerning the topic of the just transition, systematic work with scholarly literature on the topic, policy argumentation and writing, and active participation in lectures and seminars. Students will learn to critically analyze the conditions that, in interaction with each other, may yield policy outcomes that enable or disable a just green transition. |

Students are encouraged to actively participate in both lectures and seminars. Readings and critical reflections as preparation for lectures & seminars Students are expected to read the required readings for each lecture and seminar. If there are more texts, students are expected to read all required texts (recommended papers are optional). Students will be engaged in discussions on required readings during each lecture and seminar.
For each topic, students should prepare a critical reflection of the readings, including questions of clarification or topics for discussion (250-500 words per text).
Students have a choice of selecting one text from the required readings to reflect upon. They do not need to reflect upon more than one of the required readings.
Reflections should be submitted in written form to Moodle until the end of Tuesday before the next class (see deadlines in Moodle).
Each reflection should clearly demonstrate that the student has read and understood reading(s) for the given class. Simulation exercise Students will be divided into ‘country groups’ and will be asked to represent the positions of governments of different EU member states. They will be asked to formulate their country positions on a fictional draft European Commission Just Transition action plan. In their positions, they will tackle issues such as employment and social protection policies, regional inequalities, and financing. In the process of the simulation, they will try to reach agreement on important issues.
Groups will have the opportunity to select their own countries from EU member states that already have adopted Territorial Just Transition Plans (TJTPs), which is some 16 countries to date.
Groups will prepare a presentation that they will use for guidance during the simulation exercise. Policy brief At the end of the semester, students should submit a policy brief focusing on how the just transition can be tackled in a particular country or region (about 2500 words in length).
Students have three due dates for the policy brief. First and second terms can be used for obtaining informal feedback.
In such a case, please indicate in the document title that it is a draft not to be formally evaluated.
The third term is a strict deadline, and all submitted documents will be checked for plagiarism in Turnitin and graded. Informal versions for feedback are to be sent to mirna.jusic@fsv.cuni.cz , while the final should be uploaded in Moodle.
If the final policy brief is not submitted by the third deadline, the student fails to pass the course.
Deadlines for a policy brief in the academic year 2023/2024:
Attendance Students should actively participate in all classes. Three absences are tolerated during the semester, but the course instructor should always be informed about the reasons for absence (in advance if possible). Activities and points Simulation - 30 Points Five critical reflections (5 points each) - 25 points Policy brief - 45 points Total = 100 points |
