Our rough high-end estimate for such a program is a relatively modest $600 million per year. This level of funding would pay for (1) income, retraining, and relocation support for workers facing retrenchments; (2) guaranteeing the pensions for workers in the affected industries; and (3) mounting effective transition programs for what are now fossil fuel¨Cdependent communities %K climate change policy %K fossil fuel workers %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0160449X18787051
