Become A Union Climate Connector

Unions and the Australian Conservation Foundation are calling for members in all industries to become Climate Connectors in their workplaces, homes and communities.

Those who volunteer as Climate Connectors will receive ACF-developed kits and web tools, access to face-to-face training, and everything you need to campaign.

The joint ACTU/ACF Climate Connectors campaign, which is focussed on the period leading up to the Copenhagen climate summit in December, is calling for unionists to help the world achieve a successful successor to the Kyoto Protocol.

“The scientists tell us that if we achieve a global agreement on climate change in Copenhagen in December, a successor to the Kyoto protocol, we may be able to save the Barrier Reef, stop 100 million people from being displaced and minimise the increased number and intensity of cyclones, bushfires, floods and droughts,” the ACF and ACTU says.

“Unions have a proud history of campaigning on environmental issues. But rarely have the stakes been as high as they are now.”
