A ‘Just Transition’ seeks to protect the rights of the workforce throughout transition away from high carbon industries and towards sustainable economic sectors. This includes reskilling where appropriate and a fair distribution of benefits, alongside recognition and participation of affected communities.

Drawing on a systematic literature review and a case study delineated by the 38 English Local Enterprise Partnerships we analyse the variety of skills required to support a just transition to more decentralised and smart low carbon energy systems (defined as ‘smart local energy systems’) in England.

We found that more attention is required in assessing skills provision, alongside upskilling the workforce, or risk the transition being unjust. Regional disparities in skills availability could be mitigated through a local skills provision system whereby stakeholders can review training opportunities, identify emergent skill-gaps and leverage investment. In addition, greater devolution to local authorities would enable them to support stakeholders more effectively.

“公正过渡”旨在在从高碳产业向可持续经济部门过渡的整个过程中保护劳动力的权利。这包括在适当情况下进行技能再培训和公平分配利益，以及对受影响社区的认可和参与。

利用系统的文献综述和由 38 个英国本地企业合作伙伴描述的案例研究，我们分析了支持向更加分散和智能的低碳能源系统（定义为“智能本地能源系统”）的公正过渡所需的各种技能。英国。

我们发现，在评估技能提供以及提高劳动力技能的同时，需要更多关注，否则将面临转型不公正的风险。可以通过本地技能提供系统来缓解技能可用性的区域差异，利益相关者可以通过该系统审查培训机会，确定新兴的技能差距并利用投资。此外，对地方当局的更大权力下放将使他们能够更有效地支持利益相关者。
