Explore the concept of "Just Transition" in this thought-provoking TEDx talk by Atty. Renecio "Luke" Espiritu Jr. Delve into the 150-year history of wealth accumulation by elites at the expense of the environment, resulting in a blanket of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Examine the unsustainable system of over-extraction, overproduction, and overconsumption driven by profit motives. Learn about the critical role of fossil fuels in commodity production and how this path has brought us to a tipping point. Discover why addressing climate change requires embracing systemic change, with a focus on equity, justice, and human rights in harmony with nature. Gain insights from Espiritu's background as a prominent Filipino lawyer, labor organizer, and human rights activist, known for his work in public interest cases and social justice causes. Understand the ambitious CoalFree2030 initiative, which advocates for a phased transition from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy sources.
