The article elaborates a critical genealogy of the concept of Just transition, based on an inter-pretation of the link between the social question and environmental issues such that they are not mutually exclusive but, rather, the latter entails an expansion of the former. In a first phase, Just transition means a defensive posture in industrial relations, a reaction to the crisis of Ford-ism as an entropic device. Subsequently, however, the encounter with climate justice provides it with “new clothes”, which enable it to build a class-based perspective on the environmental crisis, and to enact an ecological potential within recent mobilizations by workers, as in the case of the ex-GKN in Campi Bisenzio (Florence).

Keywords: Ex-GKN; Climate justice; Just transition; Political Ecology; Transnational climate governance.
