The Trump tariffs are a wake up call to bet big on big a green industrial strategy that protects jobs. Read our op-ed making the case for a pro-worker energy transition: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/21/o...

High SP3ed Rail? To ensure the public interest, Canada’s HSR should be in public hands www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Investing in an east-west transmission is a key plank of the Green Economy Network's Common Platform. Read GEN member @hadrianmk.bsky.social's analysis for the @policyalternatives.ca make the case for it here: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

The end of the month sometimes creeps up faster than the end of the world. A pro-worker, public-led green industrial strategy is the best way to protect jobs without backsliding on emissions Read GEN's op-ed:

From GEN member @policyalternatives.bsky.social: "...(I)ncome inequality—especially the share of income held by the top five and 10 per cent of income earners—is a significant driver of carbon emissions across Canada." www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Canada must be prepared for four years of unpredictable, vindictive and destabilizing American policy. My initial take on Trump's opening salvo with @whosestreets.bsky.social and @ccpa-tirp.bsky.social: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

🚨 Global economy faces a 50% GDP loss between 2070-90 without immediate policy action on climate. We must act now, to protect people’s living standards today, and tomorrow’s future generations. If we don’t, disruption and devastation are guaranteed.

"But how do we pay for it???" 👇 www.iisd.org/articles/ins...

These regulations are welcome, but the only way they'll be effective is with workers at the table, substantial investments in skills and training, and a total commitment to creating good unionized jobs. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Former CCPA Executive Director pays tribute to GEN founder Tony Clarke:

The Green Economy Network (GEN) is mourning the loss of its founder Tony Clarke, 80, a renowned advocate for social and environmental justice who leaves a foundational legacy in the Canadian climate movement. greeneconomynet.ca/gen-founder-...

It's time for Canada to deliver worker-focused green industrial policy. "Alliances between labour and climate movements offer our greatest hope," writes Nick Pearce, National Convenor for the Green Economy Network (@greeneconnet.bsky.social). Full article: www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/28/o...

No politician or government in Canada can “save” the oil sands in the long term. For all the finger-pointing within Canada, the real spectre hanging over the industry is the global clean energy transition. My latest in the @calgaryherald.bsky.social: calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Want a durable climate coalition? Green public goods in transit, energy and housing lower the cost of living, create jobs and give people a direct stake in a just transition. Read our op-ed in @nationalobserver.bsky.social, out today www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/28/o...

Sky-high youth unemployment is kneecapping the climate fight. It's time for an ambitious public investment and a Youth Climate Corps to create jobs and cut emissions.
