Climate change represents an epochal change, exerting multiple disruptive effects on economic activity, jobs, human health and well-being in Canada as around the world. At the same time, energy transitions and decarbonization strategies require significant adjustments throughout the economy and society.

Yet, the world of work appears ill-prepared to address these challenges. Relevant curricula in the institutions of higher learning preparing new generations for their entry in the world of are largely absent. Institutions, organizations and actors negotiating the transition in their workplaces currently lack the understanding, policies, tools, and practical exemplars for addressing this epochal change.


\u00a0<\/strong>THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND THE FUTURE OF WORK SUMMER SCHOOL<\/strong>


The Climate Crisis and the Future of Work Summer School aims to play a part in helping to address these knowledge and capability gaps. The 2021 Annual Assembly and Executive of the Canadian Industrial Relations Association<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (CIRA-ACRI) resolved that climate change is a top priority in the association\u2019s engagement with the world of work.

Subsequently, CIRA-ACRI established a unique interuniversity partnership between Blue Green Ideas<\/span><\/a><\/strong> (a consultancy dealing with the challenges of climate change), the Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Resources at the University of Toronto<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (CIRHR-UoT), the Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (CRIMT) and its Institutional Experimentation for Better Work Partnership Project and the School of Industrial Relations at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (\u00c9RIUM) to address climate issues. This Summer School outreach initiative is the result of this collaboration.


A BILINGUAL EVENT, HELD SIMULTANEOUSLY IN MONTREAL AND TORONTO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n


The activity entails a week-long Summer School on the Climate Crisis and the Future of Work\/La crise climatique et l\u2019avenir du travail (June 6-10 2022<\/strong>), taking place simultaneously in two languages (French and English) at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/strong> and the University of Toronto<\/strong>.

It will bring together key researchers, educators, and students with practitioners in labour, business, and policymaking to address issues related to building a fair economy and a sustainable environment. Participants will also address key issues of social dialogue and how to achieve better work, a robust democracy, and a just society. Thereafter, the initiative will facilitate continuing exchange between the research, practitioner, climate innovator and policy communities through a series of webinars around core themes explored in the Summer School.
