BLUE GREEN CANADA

Let's build a sustainable, inclusive, and just economy together.

Blue Green Canada unites workers, environmental, and civil society organizations to tackle today’s environmental challenges, while advocating for quality jobs and fostering a clean, thriving, and equitable economy. We aim for an economy that flourishes during the transition to zero emissions, protecting workers and communities from the financial and social consequences of climate change.

KEEP THE JOBS

Advocating to preserve and create good-paying union jobs as Canada shifts to a low carbon economy is crucial. This ensures that the transition benefits workers, maintains livelihoods, and reduces economic hardships. By supporting unionized workers, we promote fair wages, job security, and sustainable development, fostering a just and prosperous future for all.

CUT THE CARBON

Reducing Canada’s carbon pollution is crucial for combating climate change. By transitioning to clean energy sources, implementing sustainable practices, and promoting green technologies, we protect the environment, safeguard public health, and mitigate the impacts of global warming. Acting now can ensure a sustainable and livable future for generations to come.

BUILD THE FUTURE

Building a future together in Canada requires collaborative efforts with workers, communities, Indigenous nations, industries, and governments. By fostering inclusive partnerships, we harness diverse perspectives, promote social equity, drive sustainable economic growth, and honour Indigenous rights. Through cooperation, we forge a united path towards a prosperous and inclusive Canada for all.

WORKERS POWERING CANADA’S ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRANSFORMATION

We co-produced this video to share the stories of courage, hope, and the challenges for workers, their families, and communities, as their workplace transitions to electric vehicle (EV) production.

The first full changeover from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EV manufacturing is happening right now in Ingersoll, Ontario at the GM – CAMI Plant.

"We're not running away from the fact that the climate is in crisis. But so is industrial manufacturing. And we need a joint effort to save both. The reality is not one or the other. We will either have both or we'll have neither as our kids grow up."
LEO GERARD,
former international president of the United Steelworkers
and co-founder of the BlueGreen Alliance.
