Climate change ... everyone has a role to play

Heavy flooding in St Lucia

"This has been one of the hottest Septembers that I can remember." "The weather pattern has changed."

Yes the weather is no longer the casual start of a conversation anymore. It's real, it's affecting us all, it's changing - dramatically.

In late September,  the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a summary report on the latest comprehensive science on climate change.  The report confirms what we instinctively know - the planet continues to get hotter and less stable. The IPCC's language suggests that the reason behind it all is human. They say that
human causes are “extremely likely”.

So we have to do something. Not only at policy level but we must take action in our workplaces, ibn our communities and in our unions.

Does your union have an environment policy? Need help in developing one?

Share your suggestions on what your workplaces your unions can do to reduce your carbon footprint?
