About
Pursuing a just transition – creating greener job opportunities without leaving workers behind – has become a key challenge when tackling climate change. Workers, communities, businesses and the public need to be at the heart of these conversations.
Since 2022 we have been working in India, Bangladesh and Brazil to improve understanding of the links between climate change, inequality and labour rights.
We host forums and offer training on how to ensure a just transition, bringing together media, decision-makers and civil society, to improve awareness and advance action.

The opportunity to work with the Foundation was very valuable for my career. They believed in my work and provided me with all the support to pursue my reporting with the necessary care and responsibility, while at the same time giving me the freedom to tell the story my own way
Being part of the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s Just Transition program has been eye-opening. Their blend of media and legal expertise has enriched my understanding of climate justice and transition issues. It’s empowered me to report on environmental challenges more effectively. The Foundation’s support has truly elevated my journalism to new heights.
The multistakeholder dialogue event hosted by the Thomson Reuters Foundation [in Bangladesh] is a wonderful example of how to create awareness, build consensus and create an environment of trust and open dialogue between relevant stakeholders. ETI Bangladesh, as one of the co-hosts for the event, has been enriched from the experience.
Through our partnership with the Thomson Reuters Foundation, we brought together key actors to highlight the issues related to climate change and inequality and amplify voices from affected communities on the impacts of public and private sector actions. The unique expertise of the Foundation – a combination of programming that focuses on media and the law – has been inspirational.
