"Climate change is having an increasingly significant impact on work in Canada, and the effect climate change has, and will continue to have, on work concerns many Canadians. However, this fact has not been seriously considered either in academic circles, in the labour movement nor especially by the Canadian Government. Climate@Work addresses this deficit by systematically tackling the question of the impact of climate change on work and employment and by analyzing Canada's conservative silence towards climate change and the Canadian Government's refusal to take it seriously.Presented in two parts, Climate@Work first evaluates the research that has been done on climate change and work both in Canada and internationally. The second part examines the impact of climate change on work and employment as it relates to specific sectors, featuring case studies that include the construction industry, the energy sector, transportation, forestry, tourism and the postal service and courier sector.".
