Abstract
Rural economies are undergoing significant change as countries seek to meet international climate targets. While this brings new economic opportunities, for example related to renewable energy or forestry, it also brings challenges for those directly or indirectly reliant on carbon-intensive industries. Scientific research on Just Transitions tends to focus on the impacts of low-carbon transitions on those in traditionally male-dominated professions, especially coal miners or oil workers. Yet, international evidence shows that previous rounds of economic restructuring have produced distinctive new labour markets: places most affected by decline in maledominated, energy intensive industries have also seen a rise in female employment in flexible service industries. However, these roles are often insecure and low paid. We also know that women are key contributors to the rural economy and their empowerment is crucial to unlocking talent that can help rural communities become more resilient.
