  • In celebration of Labor Day, the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments hosted a special webinar event, Just Transition as a Health, Climate, and Workers Rights Solution: Lessons from the Labor Movement, on September 6th, 2022 at 3 - 4 pm ET/12 - 1 pm PT. The urgency of the climate crisis is creating a need to swiftly transition in an equitable way to clean and renewable energy to limit climate impacts. Doing so at the pace required calls for a just transition - a plan to move the economy away from its current extractive, fossil-fuel reliance to one that is robust and sustainable and places the health of people, workers, communities, and the planet as its priority.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Discover how nurses can support a just transition framework and build and strengthen relationships among labor, climate, and environmental justice movements.
    2. Explain why young workers are concerned about climate change and provide at least 2 examples of how they can take individual and collective action for a better future.
    3. Describe the importance of creating conversations in the workplace around climate and a just transition framework as well as the role of labor unions in creating positive change.
