Making the Green Economy Work: Toward a just transition for Canadian Workers

Presentation by Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, at ACW All Team Meeting at York University, Toronto in November 2017. Summarizes the numbers of jobs in the fossil fuel industry by province and in the top-10 most fossil fuel dependent communities in Canada. Discusses the concept of “reactive” and “proactive” Just Transition. This presentation is more fully developed in the subsequent report "Making Decarbonization Work for Workers: Policies for a just transition to a zero-carbon economy" (https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/xmlui/handle/10315/39435).
