Abstract: Abstract Ensuring a Just Transition to a green economy will be vital to ensure no one is left behind. The International Labour Organization’s Just Transition guidelines provide a framework to enable a Just Transition. In the context of maritime decarbonization, it is vital to ensure that seafarers are appropriately trained for the changing technologies and new low-carbon fuels that are involved. The authors of this chapter discuss the relevant Conventions and initiatives, indicating that governments, employers, and seafarers’ unions all have a role to play in shipping’s Just Transition. The 10-point action plan is included in the chapter.
