With recent extreme weather conditions; torrential floods in Zhengzhou, Lagos and parts of Western Europe, mudslides in India and extreme heatwaves in the US, the need to combat climate change and its effects has never been more imminent. Topping the list of industries that need to transition is the global oil and gas industry. While oil has been touted to continue to be a mainstay for Nigeria for many more years to come, there is no denying that the transition is happening, and whether originating in-country or externally, Nigeria’s oil and gas jobs will be affected. The big question for every transition is, what happens to the livelihoods of the thousands that work in the spaces a country is aiming to move away from? It is the response to this burning question that has coined the phrase “just transition”- simply put, measures to secure the rights, interests and livelihoods of workers when economies are shifting to cleaner forms of production, particularly climate-induced shifts. For an industry that has existed for more than a century, shifting to an economy with little or no fossil fuels is certain to phase out a significant amount of jobs. This includes in connected industries like those providing a range of services to the oil and gas industry.
