SUMMARY:Webinar: Climate\, Health and Covid-19
DESCRIPTION:We will need to adapt how we approach our climate work\, both during and after the pandemic.  We will be hosting a Climate\, Health and Covid-19 on Wednesday 8th April at 7pm to explore these issues and share some of the thinking that has already happened in climate and health spaces.  \nThe webinar will be an opportunity to raise any climate concerns and insights you might have. If you are worried about having the time\, energy or headspace to take ideas forward – we would still be very keen to hear them\, so that as an organisation we can hold these and take them forward ourselves where appropriate. \nWe will be using Zoom to host the call – to join you will need to register: \nRegister through Zoom

SUMMARY:The arms industry in the era of COVID-19: lessons for the future
DESCRIPTION:Soon after the COVID-19 pandemic reached the UK\, it became clear that the NHS was not sufficiently equipped or staffed to respond to the crisis. \nIn March\, the government put out a call for industry to convert its production to manufacture crucial medical equipment\, such as ventilators and PPE for frontline workers. To date\, a number of arms and defence companies have responded to this call – alongside existing companies that manufacture medical equipment and others. \nWorkers at Lucas Aerospace called for exactly this kind of arms conversion back in 1976\, when they produced an Alternative Corporate Plan – now known as the Lucas Plan. \nIn this webinar we discuss what a ‘just transition’ from industries that cause destruction to those that support peace and public health could and should look like\, hearing from experts in the field of arms conversion and a just transition for workers: \n\nHilary Wainwright – Founding editor of Red Pepper Magazine and co-author of ‘The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making?’  \nDr. Andy Haines – Professor of Environmental Change and Public Health at LSHTM\nPhil Asquith – Chartered Engineer and former Chairman of the Lucas Aerospace Combine\, Burnley site\nDr. Stuart Parkinson – Executive Director of Scientists for Global Responsibility\nSam Mason – Policy officer at PCS Union and member of the New Lucas Plan project\n\nThe arms industry in the era of COVID-19: lessons for the futureWatch this video on YouTube
