Employee relations and the ecological transition

The year 2024 marks a turning point in reaching planetary boundaries that must not be crossed if conditions on Earth are to remain favourable to life. Of the nine boundaries, a seventh is on the verge of being crossed. This warning challenges us and reminds us that a systemic crisis is unfolding before our eyes. The urgency calls for a profound reassessment of our economic, production, work and consumption models.
