We need to show working people that it is possible to undertake major industry reform that puts workers and their communities at its heart by ensuring future low emissions jobs are good union jobs.
Trade unions representing hundreds of millions of people around the world have come out in support of what is expected to be the biggest climate mobilization the world has ever seen.
Climate change is going on. Millions of people are losing their livelihood, their homes, their jobs – and many also their lives. Time is therefore ripe for a massive mobilisation of social forces from below to put pressure on our political leaders. Trade unions will have to play a decisive role in such a mobilization. It is a question on what kind of society we want to develop.
So often there's an apparent conflict between jobs and the environment. There's a way to resolve our differences. Every environmental campaign should have a jobs program and every jobs program should be designed to address our climate catastrophe.
