A just transition: Class perspective and climate change– Episode 5 of the Resist! the Global Climate Divide podcast

In this episode we’re going back in time to 2020... One of the last events IFM-SEI was able to organise before the lockdown started was a consultation on Climate Change and Intersectionality, also part of Resist! the Global Climate Divide.

Nadia Asri met there Diego, activist in Extinction Rebellion (https://rebellion.global/) and Stay Grounded (https://stay-grounded.org/), and Paul is an active volunteer from Woodcraft Folk (https://woodcraft.org.uk/), a member organisation of IFM-SEI, and have a conversation about the changes that society will need to make in order to face the effects of Climate Change...

But, what if we changed the system from one day to another, leaving behind the fossil industries, flying or long-distance transportation? What would happen with the millions of jobs that get lost in the process? Diego and Paul will speak about what they would consider a just transition and what steps can be made to ensure an inclusive and green future.

In the next episodes, we will be looking at the Climate Crisis from different perspectives: science, gender, Capitalism... If you have any suggestions or comments, or if you would like to propose something to us, write us at [email protected]
