- Motion text
Congress supports the development of a climate justice movement demanding action for a just transition from fossil fuels to climate jobs in the UK, and for support and reparations for those in the global South experiencing the deepening climate catastrophe.
Congress continues to value the trade union work of the Greener Jobs Alliance and the Campaign against Climate Change in the UK.
Congress resolves to:
1. Develop our climate justice policies, utilising the knowledge and skills of UCU Green Reps;
2. Support mobilisations by trade unions and others around Climate Justice and publicise these to members;
3. Develop a Just Transition Plan involving skills audits, training, workplace mitigation and adaptation;
4. Disseminate the “Climate Jobs” pamphlet from the Campaign against Climate Change TU Group https://www.cacctu.org.uk/climatejobs, as a blueprint for emergency transition to a carbon-free economy.
