Why? Because we are teetering on the brink of climate catastrophe.

The Campaign against Climate Change Trade Union Group has a successful history of involving trade unions in climate campaigning - including the production of the One Million Climate Jobs pamphlet which sets out the changes we need to avoid catastrophic climate change.

Last autumn I helped organise the Campaign against Climate Change’s Camp Frack in Hesketh Bank. At that time I never expected that a meeting against the imminent threat of fracking in Balcombe, less than 10miles from my home in West Sussex, would be so well publicised or even attended.
