Addressing climate change requires that we move quickly away from fossil fuels—a transition that will impact every facet of our society. How do we ensure that this transition leads to a more safe, equitable energy future for all? Across Canada and around the world, momentum is building for a ‘just transition’ to renewable energy and a fair society. This workshop will look at the history and current organizing for a just transition, discuss the current political context and opportunities of the movement, and facilitate a conversation on ways to participate in advocacy at various levels of government.
