About Us

The Campaign against Climate Change Trade Union Group is part of the Campaign against Climate Change.

We work for the urgent action we need to avoid catastrophic climate change.

• Developing understanding within the trade union movement of why climate justice is a trade union issue: the unequal impacts of climate breakdown and fossil fuel pollution, both globally and locally.
• Identifying and sharing effective solutions: Just Transition, climate jobs, and a National Climate Service, with a focus on linking social justice and climate justice.
• Identifying ‘false solutions’ to the climate crisis which have negative environmental and/or social outcomes and informing debates about these within the trade union movement.
• Bringing trade union voices into the environmental and climate movement.
• Working with other campaign and civil society groups to build effective demonstrations with a visible trade union presence calling for climate action.

Please join us in our work – let’s plan for a future which doesn’t cost the earth.
