Marine Just Transition - UK and international comparator countries: literature review
Two related systematic literature reviews were undertaken to strengthen our knowledge of existing literature on a just transition for marine sectors and coastal communities. The first review has a focus on the UK, with a particular interest in Scotland, and the second focusses internationally.
