Abstract

The intersection of apprenticeship curriculum and the principles of climate justice and just energy transition represent a unique opportunity to promote a more sustainable future in Nigeria. This paper explores how integrating these principles into apprenticeship programs can equip learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to drive sustainable development and address climate change challenges. By examining current literature and case studies, the paper highlights the benefits of such integration, including the promotion of social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic resilience. The integration of climate justice and just energy transition principles into apprenticeship curriculums represents a critical evolution in vocational training, aligning education with the urgent demands of sustainable development and social equity. This approach aims to blend technical training in renewable energy technologies with comprehensive education on environmental policies and social equity. By incorporating core technical skills, environmental education, and practical experience, apprenticeship programs can empower individuals to participate actively in the green economy, ensuring economic opportunities are accessible to all and promoting environmental stewardship. This article investigates how climate justice and just energy principles can be used to guide and shape the energy transition in Nigeria. The goal is to ensure that the transition is inclusive, sustainable and beneficial for all segments of society. It highlights the need for comprehensive policy frameworks that balance developmental concerns and market creation. The study recommended that Nigeria government should develop a national framework that integrates climate justice and just energy transition principles into apprenticeship curricula. Create a multi-stakeholder task force to oversee the integration process, including representatives from educational institutions, industry, government, and civil society and more.
