the need has never been more urgent

After nearly a year of interviewing more than 100 workers, Indigenous and community leaders affected by workplace closings, climate change and major shifts in local and regional economies, the Labor Network for Sustainability and partners released its report “Workers and Communities in Transition.”

Compiled and written by J. Mijin Cha, Vivian Price, Dimitris Stevis, and Todd E. Vachon with Maria Brescia-Weiler, this report underscores a critical point in the shift to much needed climate policies: Workers and their communities must not be left behind in the transition to a green economy and in fact, their role in the process of developing a just transition is critical to making it work fairly.
