This Autumn I collaborated with researcher Dr Ed Atkins on his project exploring experiences of changing jobs and skills in the South-West. I was briefed to create a regional map, illustrating key locations of the area’s project work - and the infrastructure which links them together.
With the climate emergency, people’s jobs and skills will change. A just transition means that it is important to ensure that nobody is excluded or unsupported. Identifying areas where people’s jobs will be impacted can support positive changes for workers and their families, whilst anticipating where right-wing populist politicians and movements will endeavour to link net-zero policies with the cost-of-living crisis.
Demystifying right-wing narratives can thus start with an illustration!
