Dear Colleagues,

  • Different conceptions of just transitions;
  • “Green” extractivism and the challenges of a just transition in the Global South;
  • The business models prevailing in “green” sectors;
  • The different union strategies vis-à-vis the ecological transition;
  • Reimagining the nature of work in an environmental perspective.

Speakers include: Nora Räthzel, Dimitris Stevis, Thea Riofrancos, and Matt Huber
