There is a lot of talk about climate change in the UK, yet this rarely reflects the experiences and knowledge of the working-class here or in countries across the world. At the same time, the approach to reducing emissions in Scotland has often entrenched inequalities of power and wealth.
This interactive course addresses:
- What is climate change and who is responsible for it?
- How did we get here and what has the response been so far?
- Who should hold power and how do we win for the working-class?
The in-person course is made up of three modules outlined below. Materials are available open-access online: https://padlet.com/rmorrison63/stuc-climate-and-just-transition-political-education-course-6zpkc894ofxxlrdz
