The Solidarity Center is launching a new, partner-informed, inclusive strategic plan to support workers and their unions around the world to address impacts and drive solutions for an accelerating climate crisis. “The Solidarity Center recognizes that workers and their communities—especially in the global south—are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis. We are committed to directing resources and attention toward people-centered climate policy and legislative advocacy by our partners and allies in their respective countries,” says Shawna-Bader Blau, Solidarity Center executive director. The Solidarity Center’s strategic plan includes using collective bargaining to advance cleaner, safer and more sustainable operations across sectors and developing worker-driven climate solutions.

Solidarity Center initiatives to advance climate justice include a convening of palm oil unions from Colombia, Honduras, Indonesia and Malaysia, with environmental partners, to support implementation of a strategic plan by labor leaders from those countries that addresses issues with common actors and challenges within the supply chain, and pursues advocacy avenues for worker protection demands and engagement in policymaking on climate-change mitigation measures. photo: Oscar Durand / Solidarity Center Comments are closed.
