A large black cat with exaggerated features is holding a salt shaker with one paw and is about to salt its "meal" at a table. The cat's "meal" is a small, model-like building with a sign that says "WORK" on it. The building sits on a plate decorated with small green objects (possibly cabbages or Brussels sprouts) around its base. It’s presented as if it’s a dish to be eaten. The setting is a table with a simple white plate, a fork held by the cat, a loaf of bread on a cutting board, and a bread knife visible in the bottom right corner. A vase with three red roses is situated to the left of the plate.

The words "UNJUST Transition" are prominently displayed in a bold, sans-serif typeface. The design uses a distressed or textured effect giving it a gritty, industrial feel. A stylized silhouette of an industrial landscape — likely a refinery or power plant — with smoke stacks is featured. Below the main title, a smaller text block reads "The Future for Fossil Fuel Workers," providing context for the book's focus. By Emily Eaton, Andrew Stevens & Sean Tucker.
