February 7, 2024 Meeting
We welcomed guest, Steven Schwann to our meeting. Steven is the Canadian Government Affairs Director at the International Union of Operating Engineers and spoke about his recent experience at the COP28 conference which took place in Dubai, The United Arab Emirates. COP28 was the 28th annual United Nations (UN) climate meeting, where governments discuss how to limit and prepare for future climate change.

"The Just Transition Act is The Liberal government’s long-promised plan to transition Canada’s labour force to respond to climate change and says a clean energy economy will not prompt massive unemployment in the country’s energy towns.
The Act says if Canada plays its cards right, the clean energy economy will create so many jobs there may not be enough workers to fill them. But some of it will require the traditional oil and gas sectors to “aggressively” lower the greenhouse gas emissions produced as the fuels are extracted.
According to numerous studies, rather than a shortage of jobs, in Canada we are much more likely to see an abundance of sustainable jobs with a shortage of workers required to fill them."
