GLOBAL LOBBY WEEK: Climate Change and Just Transition

(1st June 2015) This week trade unions around the world are campaigning and lobbying to show their support for an ambitious climate agreement as talks in UNFCCC take place to prepare for the Climate Change Conference in December in Paris. Trade Unions want Just Transition for the workers to be part of the agreement to be reached in Paris. Unions can make a difference in the fight against one of the worst enemies of social justice, that is climate change.

EPSU supports the ITUC lobby week and calls on affiliates to campaign and lobby their governments in three ways:

1 – by sending this letter to your government,

2 – by taking part in the survey, and

3 – by organising a meeting with your government, other MPs, local authorities, etc and TAKE PICS (ideally with the #unions4climate placard - see attached below in 4 languages), send it to [email protected] and post it in SOCIAL MEDIA with #UNIONS4CLIMATE hashtag).

- Please inform us about your government's action and position and show us your union's actions and position. See for examples.
