UNISON supports mobilisation for Cop26 Climate Day of action on 6th November

GREEN UNISON – MOBILISE EVERYWHERE FOR NOVEMBER 2021

 

UNISON’s national executive council (NEC) is fully supporting plans for UK trade unions to mobilise around the country as part of the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice on 6 November.

 

We are not encouraging members to travel to Glasgow as UNISON Scotland will be taking part in the Glasgow Cop26 events. Instead we are encouraging members to take part in Cop26 events virtually and locally. Find out what is happening locally here

 

The event is one of many aimed at putting pressure on world leaders ahead of the United Nations Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP26), which is taking place in Glasgow between 31 October and 12 November – with the message that the time for talking is over and immediate action needed if Governments are to successfully avert climate catastrophe.

 

The day of action is being organised by the Cop26 Coalition, whose members include environment and development NGOs, trade unions, grassroots community campaigns, faith groups, youth groups, migrant and racial justice networks.
