1/2 "A small group of authors, primarily from the Global North, dominates the field & largely promotes technology-focused framing. These findings point to intellectual hegemony in global just transition scholarship, shaping its discourse & potentially marginalising broader perspectives"

1/4 Rosebank is a defining test of this government’s credibility on climate change. They must reject this disaster project. We have joined 250+ organisations calling on Keir Starmer to reject the controversial Rosebank oil field. @stopcambo.bsky.social www.stopcambo.org.uk/updates/zack...

Think one of the most important&transformative shift towards all kinds of justice and habitable planet would be collaboration&solidarity between working classes and the poor between Global North and the Global South for nature&environment&themselves &their societies, against the ruling class&wealthy

"The global economy now depends on two complementary engines.[T]hey sustain a cycle of accumulation that worsen inequality between regions and between classes. Until this dual structure is broken,[..] the South[..remain..] to dependence,[&prosperity of..]North will rest on the exhaustion of others."

New article from our Staff Writer @kevinini.bsky.social👇 What is the knowledge economy, & how does it uphold unequal North-South relations? "Capitalism renews itself by finding new frontiers to privatise. Where nature once provided the frontier, knowledge now does" wccalliance.org/the-material...

Those with the fewest resources will always bare the brunt of climate breakdown. In the parish of St. Elizabeth there's no infrastructure that can withstand a category 5 hurricane. Some people have only just restored their homes destroyed by the last one. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

A short, but very important piece from @divideclass.bsky.social "Any review into inequality is not doing its job if it only explores the lives of the poorest and fails to examine how those with privilege and power contribute to this status quo." www.classdivide.co.uk/news/its-not...

Ireland’s natural environment in ‘very poor’ condition, EU analysis finds

We've joined over 100 organisations calling on the new Home Secretary to unite communities. Scapegoating refugees won’t fix inequality, housing shortages, or a crumbling NHS. Real solutions will. Read our open letter here: www.refugee-action.org.uk/OpenLetterHo...

The recording of the Political Economy of the UK panel featuring Sasha Josette, Mark Hooper and Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social is now available to watch on YouTube! 💥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVAN...

We should be focusing on expanding access to rail & bus services, & ensuring that these forms of transport are affordable and run on clean energy. The last thing we need is a second runway at Gatwick - expected to lead to an extra 100,000 flights a year. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1/3 We've launched our online reading group series and we'd love to see you there! Over six months, our reading group will focus working class storytelling; how it's been used both as an educational tool as well as a form of resistance & instrument for revolution. www.eventbrite.com/e/wcca-readi...

Proper thread after the summer break– but if you were looking for a beach read about political reasoning in today's working class, look no further: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

1/3 We had an absolute blast at the Anti-Austerity Conference in Bristol last weekend, hosted by @modernmoneylab.org.uk. Our Co-Director Sasha Josette joined Plaid Cymru Councillor Mark Hooper & Green Party Leader Zack Polanski to discuss the political economy of the UK, & solutions to austerity.

BDS victory! The Scottish Parliament becomes the first in the world to endorse BDS against genocidal Israel. BDS calls for escalated civil society pressure on all states to impose legal and targeted sanctions against apartheid Israel similar to those that helped abolish apartheid in South Africa.

💥 "We need really powerful storytellers - and there's no better storytellers than people from communities" 💥 Green Party Leader Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaking at today's Workers Planet event in Brighton, on the interaectional climate justice panel.

"Literature reminds us of something deeply important: the humanity we all carry within us, & the humanity which we must preserve in the face of everything. It plays a necessary role by inviting us to reflect – both inwardly & outwardly, in a more critical manner." wccalliance.org/to-the-halls...

📣 New article on the website ✍️ "The working class will continue to face the worst of climate disruption so long as landlords control access to housing. Floods and fires won’t create green landlords, they’ll create higher rents and higher inequality." wccalliance.org/there-are-no...

1/3 Just over a week to go until Workers Planet - a fringe event at the TUC conference in Brighton (7th Sept). The day will be a deep dive into how unions can lead the fight for climate justice, & action-oriented discussions on workplace organising & environmental justice.

Ireland attended the emergency Hague Group meeting in Bogotá in July when these six pledges were declared. The pledges represent concrete actions to stop complicity with genocide and uphold international law. We need to make the Govnt sign up to them. my.uplift.ie/petitions/jo... @uplift.ie

Trade unions need to be aware that 'sustainable aviation growth' is basically magical thinking.

We need to make them pay for the damage they are causing to people and planet. They only care about their profits, we must resist this

"The failure to act on this front is not due to lack of knowledge or options, it is a failure of political will. Continuing to pretend that aviation can decarbonise while growing unchecked is nothing short of a dangerous delusion." New article on the website ✍️ wccalliance.org/why-should-w...

Looking forward to speaking at the Green Gathering festival in Wales in a few weeks! I'll be talking about the consequences of climate breakdown for trade unions & working class communities, as well as how they are mobilising to safeguard their livelihoods and enhance their collective wellbeing ☀️🌿

1/4 After many, many months of planning we're very excited to be able to finally announce "Workers and Community United: Environmental Action From Below", a campaigning partnership with the trade union UNISON (Environment Agency Yorkshire and North East branch) 🥳🌿 wccalliance.org/workers-comm...

Welsh climate impact story: my mum's local Co-op store in Cardiff has been unable to stock perishable food and dairy for over a week because its chill cabinets are powered by a gas generator. The gas tanks that power the generator are overheating thanks to a heatwave affecting the UK.

We need real, transformative change. It’s time to make the super-rich and polluting corporations pay for a just transition from fossil fuels, for better public services, for all the destruction they have caused – in the global south and the UK! #MakeThemPay

"The [degrowth] movement cannot wait for policy frameworks or new metrics. It must build around the capacity of workers to withdraw cooperation from harmful processes and reimagine their labour as something more than a function of markets." wccalliance.org/degrowth-nee...

Deeply unimpressed by Green Party members campaigning against solar. Happily I think this is rare and but still dismayed to see it!
