No jobs on a dead planet: Just transitions - a May Day Special

from Earth Matters

We are often told that we have to make a choice between jobs and the environment. And that we have no option but to continue with an economic system that has lead us to a point of climate catastrophe.But there is a growing awareness that to effectively redress climate change we need to radically change the nature of our economy, to transition to a system that is just for people and the planet.We consider this transition, and hear about people making the links between their livelihoods and the need to address climate change.We hear from Bob Massie, an expert on climate change and finance. He is the outgoing President of the New Economy Coalition in the United States. He came to Australia in February as part of the Just Transitions tour, presented by 350 Australia and Earth Worker Cooperative.We also hear from Anna Boddenberg, from Earth Worker Cooperative, who are facilitating worker-owned cooperatives for green jobs. Seeking to provide a transition for communities reliant on polluting industries.Guests: Bob Massie (New Economy Coalition); Anna Boddenberg (Earth Worker Cooperative)

Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
