How can socio-economic transitions be better managed? Lessons from four historical cases of industrial transition

It finds commonalities among decarbonization transitions in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and South Africa, expanding the scope of success from simply closing industries to including social and economic equity in the transition process.
