Worker powered climate action: how can labor and environmental movements join forces?

Monday, September 21, 2026

The 2020s has so far been a decade of contradiction with acts of grand climate ambition being followed by government backsliding. On a global scale, this backpedaling poses significant political and economic challenges to climate progress and impacts people at every level, including workers. Broken promises, however, don't spell the end of the movement. Join the BlueGreen Alliance as they share what they have learned from being the only national coalition of environmental and labor movements in the world. Joined by union and environmental leaders and policy makers, they will discuss how innovative coalitions and worker-centred policies can better deliver for working people and planet.

From modernization and refurbishment to remanufacturing, resource recovery, and new service-based business models, circularity is fundamentally reshaping how industrial companies create value.
