The discipline teaches due diligence under the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (2011) and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct (2018), the ILO Guidelines for a just transition (2015), consent processes with Indigenous and local communities, distributional analysis of a carbon price or a plant closure, social dialogue, and grievance mechanism design against the effectiveness criteria of the Guiding Principles. A graduate can carry out due diligence for a project with a stated scope and a remedy path, assess the distributional effect of a climate policy on households and workers, and design a grievance mechanism that meets the effectiveness criteria.
