Climate action and just transition
Climate change is accelerating. The triple planetary crisis – climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution – are significantly exacerbating inequalities, both between and within countries.
Action to tackle climate change is an existential need but must also be socially just. Through our engagement in the OECD’s climate and environmental policy, TUAC is working to make the case for a just transition, advocating for policies that create more and better jobs in the move to a net zero emissions economy, and the active involvement of workers and unions in managing climate action.
TUAC’s work in this area is led by Martin Denis. For more information, please contact denis@tuac.org.
