The Campaign against Climate Change Trade Union conferences have brought together hundreds of Trade Unionists to discuss the role that the Trade Union movement can play in the fight against Climate Change. The conference took place against a backdrop that is even more urgent than the loast two: working people face the twin threat of economic recession and climate disaster. The failure to agree a serious strategy for dealing with climate change at the Copenhagen Climate Conference underlines this problem.

The conference was held by the CCC's trade union working group.

Are you a member of a trade or students union? If so, we need your help!

We want to build the widest possible coalition of forces to campaign for action on climate change. Involving our unions is an important part of this.

Proposing motions of affiliation to CCC is a good way of raising the issue, and of tapping into activist (and financial) support. If you've never proposed a motion to your union before it might seem scary. But don't be intimidated - the whole point of unions is to respond to the concerns of their members.
