Finally - the long awaited Schedule for All Hands on Deck is now online - and registration too.

Chantel Carr and I are so excited to share this schedule with everyone. It has been a long time in development, and we feel so humbled to bring together so many incredible people, topics and disciplines into the one event.

All Hands on Deck is a cross-disciplinary symposium – centred on the topics of work, skill and material production in the context of climate change. In particular, it brings design into dialogue with the social sciences and political economy.

What is "All Hands on Deck"? It's a genuinely cross-disciplinary symposium @ UTS 19-21 July 2023, investigating the future of work, skill requirements and material production at a time of human and environmental calamity. It asks: What kinds of work – paid and unpaid – will be genuinely needed in the future, and what sorts of skills and capacities will this require? https://allhandsondeck2023.com/

Convened by myself and Dr Chantel Carr. The keynote speakers are Prof Alice Twemlow and Emeritus Prof Tim Ingold. Full speakers and abstracts lists due out in a matter of days... and the schedule and registration will be available soon after that.

📣 NEW: This toolkit on advancing #justtransitions in Indonesia is a user-friendly guide for decision-makers on creating an inclusive and intentional shift towards a low-carbon economy.

There's another aspect to this: #JustTransitions don't just achieve equitable outcomes; they're also procedurally inclusive. They empower people to shape solutions that work for them. The Somerville Climate Forward update provides an opportunity to do that, but so should the City's efforts to implement the Specialized Energy Code approved by the Council last month. You can learn more about just transitions here: https://justtransitioninitiative.org/about-just-transitions/

Love the ideas offered so far, but one important addendum: My key question here is how to make the decarbonization itself more affordable and economically inclusive. That's why I pointed to Gernot's article, which I should've linked to: https://gwagner.com/ll97/

In coal-dependent communities, there's been a lot of talk of #justtransitions, and it's becoming a bigger thing in developing countries looking to end fossil fuel subsidies, better regulating water supplies, etc. But we need it here too.

When there is a 📈 in growth, it increases corporate profits, not the wellbeing of workers! We need an agenda that fosters decent work and #JustTransitions @LudovicVoet@twitter.com @etuc_ces@twitter.com
