Damon Silvers - The Labour Movement, the State and Climate Change - What Must be Done to Prevent Catastrophe

The first public talk as part of the UCL IIPP Labour and Climate Change Series 2024 will explore the nature of climate change as both a political economy problem and an engineering problem, the implications of the increasingly alarming science of climate change, the nature of state action required to effectively fight climate change in the closing window we have left, and the critical role of workers, their unions and their political organisations in providing the political backing necessary for effective climate policy. The lecture is presented by Professor Damon Silvers and was recorded on the 25th April 2024
