The Climate Conversation

Let's come together to explore the links between housing, and the green economy, particularly for marginalised groups.

Climate Conversations: Green Skills, Housing & a Just Transition

Climate change is not only an environmental issue, it is a social, economic, and justice issue. As Wales moves towards a greener future, it is vital that marginalised communities are not left behind, but instead supported to access green skills, sustainable employment, and fair housing solutions.

This Climate Conversations event will explore how the green economy can offer practical and inclusive solutions to the climate crisis, particularly for migrants and other underrepresented groups. The session will focus on the real-life connections between climate action, employment, and housing, and how these systems can work better together.

What to expect

The event will begin with short presentations introducing key themes, including:

• Green skills and sustainable employment as pathways to climate resilience
• The relationship between housing, energy efficiency, and the green economy
• Barriers faced by marginalised communities in accessing green opportunities

This will be followed by an interactive workshop, where participants will:

• Share lived experiences and local insights
• Discuss opportunities and challenges within Wales’ green transition
• Explore what fair, inclusive pathways into green jobs and housing could look like

The conversation will centre community voices, ensuring participants’ insights and experiences contribute to national decision-making and future policy discussions.

This event is open to community members, practitioners, employers, policymakers, and anyone interested in climate justice, green employment, housing, and a fair transition.

Join us to reflect, share, and help shape a more inclusive and sustainable future for Wales.
