Against the background of the accelerating climate crisis, these two public lectures by Damon Silvers, Visiting Professor of Practice and advisor to trade unions in the US and globally, look at the labour movement鈥檚 central role in the fight against climate change in the context of developments since COP27 in Glasgow. 听The thesis of the lectures is that fighting climate change requires much more vigorous action by the entrepreneurial state, and that the support of working people, and particularly workers directly involved in the production and use of energy, is critical for the fight against climate change to succeed. 听As one labour leader put it, 鈥渢here will either be a just transition, or no transition at all.鈥�

These lectures build on Professor Silvers鈥� recent article co-authored with IIPP Director Professor Mariana Mazzucato, '', in Foreign Affairs looking at the meaning of the 2023 US auto workers鈥� strike for the fight against climate change and arguing the need for a new paradigm for how firms, workers and governments interact in the fight against climate change.
