Abstract
Port Talbot’s Tata Steel, the UK’s largest single carbon emitter, is set to close its blast furnaces this summer. While this closure is good news for national emissions, it would also result in approximately 2,800 direct job losses. Nick Robins and Sangeeth Selvaraju argue that this would constitute a prime example of an unjust transition towards net-zero, and offer suggestions for avoiding such devastating outcomes in Wales and the rest of the country.
