Work in a Warming World (W3) held its first working conference from June 7-9 at the Schulich School of Business Executive Learning Centre. With over 40 participants from Canada and New Zealand the conference provided researchers from academic and community organizations the opportunity to exchange ideas about climate change and labour.
A highlight of the conference was the public panel which presented the results of an exploratory project funded by Canada’s Three National Research Councils. What Do We Know? What Do We Need To Know? – The State of Canadian Research on Work, Employment and Climate Change featured the following speakers:
Carla Lipsig-Mummé York University
John Calvert and Marjorie Griffin Cohen Simon Fraser University
Steve Tufts York University
Geoff Bickerton Canadian Union of Postal Workers
John Holmes Queens University
A final report based on the work presented at the panel along with other W3 updates will be online on the W3 website in the fall of 2010.
