Supporting a Just Transition
Blue Green Ideas believes that workers and the labour movement must lead on the fight for climate action. Our research and customized learning programs help organizations build a renewable and worker-centred economy that protects our environment and sustains working people.
Our Research
Building a clean energy economy is an opportunity for labour to lead on climate by creating high-quality family-sustaining jobs that spur economic development while reducing the dangerous emissions that are causing an increase in climate disasters.
Green jobs and green investment can not only reduce income inequality they can also generate political support necessary to ensure the success of a long-term climate action program.
