🌐 The webinar will be held in English.
The green transition is reshaping jobs, production processes and how work is organized. Yet workers and their unions are still too often left out of climate policy decisions. How can they help shape those decisions? How can unions use collective bargaining and build alliances to advance a just transition?
The European Trade Union Institute (ETUI), in partnership with CRIMT, invites you to a webinar exploring these questions. The authors of seven studies published in a special issue of Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research will present their main findings. Topics include decarbonization in the automotive industry, union coalitions in the energy sector and gender inequalities in the impacts of climate change.
