Lessons from Bidenomics and the US Auto Strike, the British Steel Industry, and the Global South 

Watch the second lecture in UCL IIPP's Labour and Climate Change series with Damon Silvers.
The discussion will look at four case studies over the last two years-President Biden’s massive climate-related public investment agenda and the response from US trade unions, the effort to decarbonise the British steel industry, the attempt to phase out the South African coal mining industry, and the effort by President Lula to decarbonise Brazil’s economy after years of climate denial under his predecessor. In each case, the interactions of government, labour parties, and labour unions provides lessons about what to do and not to do to fight climate change effectively, both in the developed and the developing world.
