Workers Planet

Workers Planet

As climate collapse accelerates and inequality deepens, working-class communities are being hit hardest—facing low pay, rising bills, and a political system that no longer speaks for them. Workers Planet brings together organisers, trade unionists, and grassroots activists to map out a transformative vision: one where the fight for climate justice and economic justice is led by workers themselves.

Through bold conversations and practical strategy, Workers Planet will dig into the challenges and opportunities facing the labour movement today. How can unions break from a politics of compromise and lead a real fightback? What does it take to organise for climate justice on the shop floor and in our streets? And how do we build power—not just to resist, but to transform? From strike campaigns to housing justice, just transition to international solidarity, these sessions will spotlight the organising that’s already reshaping what’s possible—and the alliances we need to win.

What to Expect? A deep dive into how unions can lead the fight for climate justice 🔗 Action-oriented discussions on workplace organising & environmental justice 🔥 Inspiring speakers leading the charge for a just transition.
