That commitment will heavily affect those working in public services, local businesses, communities and government. To reflect on the complexity of that challenge, Dr Cristian Surubaru and Dr Guanyu Jason Ran, at The Business School, recently hosted a panel at Craiglockhart Campus to explore what a \u201cJust Transition\u201d means for Scotland and the challenges involved in delivering it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Dr. Surubaru and Dr. Ran brought together representatives from the City of Edinburgh Council, the Edinburgh Communities Climate Action Network, sustainability coaching consultancy Future Led, and Edinburgh Napier University.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For Cristian Surubaru, Lecturer in Public Administration and Management and co-lead of the new <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sustainability Governance and Policies<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> research theme within the Centre for Business Innovations and Sustainable Solutions (CBISS)*, the event was designed to create space for conversation between organisations that do not always have the opportunity to share their experiences. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe tried to get these different perspectives in place to see what can be done in terms of a just transition,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe were speaking the same language, but we didn\u2019t really know it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559731&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The event formed part of an international symposium involving ten universities across the UK and the United States, demonstrating growing global interest in Just Transition approaches and debates.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The discussion highlighted that while many organisations are striving towards similar sustainability ambitions, they often face common barriers, including limited resources, competing priorities<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and a lack of shared frameworks for implementation.
