Abstract
The concept of the Green Economy arose as a solution to fight cJimate change and the global
crises such as the energy and the food crisis. The Green Economy is seen as a future-proof way of including everybody on the planet while transitioning from a bio--fuel economy to a
Green Economy. However, the transition to the Green Economy is far from just, as it causes Green Capitalism, Green Grabbing and Green Extractivism. In order to arrive at a Green Economy that is just, the Just Transition is needed. The Just Transition entails that, through a socîal dialogue, all actors take part in a just and fair economy that fights the global crises. This thesis uses the concept of Just Transformation, the categorîes Recognitional Justîce, Procedural Justice and Distributional Justice, and corresponding indicators established by Bennet et al. (2019), to condud a directed content anatysis on a case study of the NGO
