2 - Building a mass movement

The challenges to create a just transition may seem overwhelming, but they will only grow larger if we fail to unite and organise at the grassroots.

The current model is based on the exploitation of workers and nature. Workers are often paid poverty wages and work in unsafe conditions, while nature provides the materials for industrial production and is the recipient of the waste generated by industrial processes.

The interconnected crisis we face requires connecting struggles and social movements. It also requires educated and informed citizens in their roles as consumers, citizens, workers, or activists, with access to information and transparency.

When workers, trade unions, environmental activists, social movements, young people, organised citizens and consumers work together with one purpose, change is possible.
