Climate Change and environmental issues at work are increasingly moving up the trade union agenda. Unions are working together and forming partnerships to tackle what is seen by many as the biggest issue of the 21st Century – and one aspect of this is the way that unions will work to ensure workers have an opportunity to develop the new skills needed for a low carbon economy.
Developing green skills at work has the potential to offer a wide range of exciting opportunities to workers across the UK, and the trade union movement will be leading the way in supporting the fight against climate change and helping workers build the skills that will be part of the solution.
This webinar ties in with the launch of unionlearn’s new publication “Cutting Carbon, Growing Skills: green skills for a just transition” and will hear from report author Graham Peterson and TUC Senior Policy Officer Tim Page.
Join Graham, Tim and Sarah on this webinar which addresses:
- What is a just transition and why is a trade union issue?
- How are new green jobs and skills vital to the economy?
- What are Green Reps and how can they play a part?
- What training is available from unions?
