The Just Energy Transition Podcast emerged during Europe’s Energy Earthshot - a whole-of-system design process to advance the continent’s energy transformation, catalyzed by The B Team, in collaboration with Massive Change Network, bringing together 200 stakeholders online, across 50 countries, over 3 days in October 2022. Four participants created an initial prototype inspired by 3 discoveries: The power of storytelling to design our future, Global goals actualized through local context and action, and Young people as leaders in the energy transition. A later version was presented at COP 28.
