In Conversation: Investing in Quality Jobs to Tackle Climate Change

October 27, 2023

“We need a new pact: people and planet.” As we got through the most complex and comprehensive transformation in the economy that we've seen since the Industrial Revolution, how do we build economies with both of those in mind? In the next of our series of highlight sessions from the 2023 Global Progress Action Summit, Frances Colón (Senior Director of International Climate Policy - CAP Action) speaks with Gerald Butts (Vice Chairman of Eurasia Group) and Stefan Löfven (Co-Chair of the UN High-level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism, President of PES, and Former Prime Minister of Sweden) about investing in green jobs, and climate policy that serves voters.


This conversation took place on September 16, 2023, at the 2023 Global Progress Action Summit in Montréal hosted by Canada 2020 and CAP Action. It has been lightly edited for clarity.
