This chapter provides an overview of contemporary technological transformations and their implications for labour, particularly in the Brazilian context. The advancement of digitalisation and the platformisation of labour has intensified precarisation and social inequalities, with ‘uberisation’ and the gig economy emerging as symbols of this new landscape. Algorithmic management, the lack of labour protections, and financial instability are challenges faced by workers, exacerbating social exclusion. The text highlights initiatives such as Fairwork, which aims to regulate digital labour and promote fairer working conditions. Furthermore, it proposes integrating Environmental Education into discussions of social and economic justice, arguing that labour issues are intrinsically connected to the fight for environmental justice. By linking the rights to decent work, life, and a safe environment, it suggests that Environmental Education offers a critical perspective that encompasses social, economic, ecological, and human rights dimensions, proposing new approaches to address inequalities worsened by technological acceleration.
