ABOUT IRON & EARTH


Established in 2016 by fossil fuel workers, Iron & Earth was sparked by growing concerns of climate change and a collective desire to build a more prosperous and sustainable future. These workers saw opportunity in the transferability of their skills and recognized that they had a role to play in realizing a Just Transition. Over the years, Iron & Earth has grown in its approach to empowering a Just Transition. Our mandate has expanded to include directly engaging with communities and supporting a spectrum of willing workers in addition to those from the fossil fuel industry.
