Webinars

The Just Transition Care initiative will run five webinars aimed at discussing different aspects of current ecological transitions.

Webinar 1: Domestic and Community Care

This webinar aims at discussing three general questions:

how do domestic and community care (DCC) contribute to the wellbeing of people and the planet?
how are domestic and community care affected by the Covid and climate crises?
what would it mean for a Just Transition (JT) strategy to take DCC into account?

Webinar 2: Food Production

This webinar concentrates on the connections between food production and Just Transitions through the perspectives of peasants and indigenous peoples.

The seminar addresses the following three questions:

How have peasants been affected by the Covid and climate crises?
What does “care work” mean for peasants and indigenous peoples, and how could this work be included in a JT strategy for food production?

Webinar 3: Healthcare

This webinar focuses on the intersection between healthcare and Just Transitions through the perspective of healthcare workers and labour activists. It addresses the following questions:

Is the JT strategy relevant to healthcare, particularly from the perspective of healthcare workers and communities? In what ways?
How is healthcare work affected by the social, economic and environmental crises and (how) can the response be framed in terms of JT?

Webinar 4: Earthcare

This webinar focuses on the intersection between Earthcare and Just Transitions through the perspective of indigenous people, peasants and firefighters. It addresses the following questions:

What are the obstacles “earthcare labour” has been facing lately up to present? What are the positive elements and relations sustaining earthcare labour?
What role, if any, could governments play in a Just Transition that protects earthcare labour?
What role, if any, could unions play in the protection of earthcare labour, both waged and unwaged?

Webinar 5: Education

(this event will take place in May 2023)
