On Sunday December 1, 2013 the Toronto Star published an article, "Global warming at work: how climate change affects the economy and labour", on the Work in a Warming World conference held at the University of Toronto’s Woodsworth College from Friday to Sunday (Nov. 28-Dec.1). The conference brought together academics, environmental groups and trade unions to debate the impact of climate change on labour practices: how we work, what we produce and where we produce. The gathering was among the first of its kind, and came following the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report released in September, "Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis". Speakers included Hassan Yussuff, secretary-treasurer of the Canadian Labour Congress; and Carla Lipsig-Mummé, professor of work and labour studies at York University, and director of the conference.
