Just Transition Conference 2026
March 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM ALT Hotel 125 Water Street St. John's, NL A1C 5X4
Building a Fair Future for NL Workers
Greetings!
The Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour (NLFL) is proud to announce a groundbreaking Just Transition Conference that will help shape the future of work in our province.
What is a Just Transition?
A just transition means ensuring that as our economy shifts away from carbon-intensive industries, workers and communities are not left behind. It means:
- Good union jobs in emerging green sectors;
- Fully funded retraining and upskilling programs;
- Income support during transitions;
- Worker voices leading the planning process
We cannot afford to let history repeat itself in our province – we need to start planning for our future now. This time, workers will be at the table from day one.
Conference Highlights
- Launch of the Just Transition Declaration calling on government to act
- Presentations from leading just transition experts from across Canada and internationally
- Worker-led breakout sessions and discussion
- Research findings on the future of our economy and transition best practices
- Policy recommendations for government and industry
- Building solidarity with fellow union members and allies
