From Coal to Clean Energy: Protecting People Through the Transition | The Development Podcast

Our warming world needs to wean itself away from fossil fuels, but closing coal mines can impact jobs and communities. How can we put people and communities at the center of the transition away from coal? In this episode of The Development Podcast, we hear about the challenges and opportunities with Elizabeth Ruppert Bulmer, Lead Economist with the Social Protection & Jobs Global Practice and Rachel Perks, Senior Mining Specialist with the Energy & Extractives Global Practice, both at the World Bank.
