Achieving a just transition to aged care

We are delighted to invite you to a very special co-hosted seminar on Friday 28th November, 11am - 1pm in UTS Building 8 (CB08.05.002 Seminar Room) for a special guest lecture by Professor Philip Taylor from the University of Warwick, UK.

A case study of achieving a just transition to decarbonising care

Amid increasing efforts to decarbonize society, the voices of socially disadvantaged community members, such as women, low-paid workers, and care recipients, are often overlooked. Given the nature of domiciliary (in-home) care, its growing significance, and the characteristics and size of its workforce, it represents a potentially valuable case study for involving communities in the co-design of solutions for a sector already undergoing significant transformation and facing further scrutiny as a major carbon emitter.
