This TUC national conference held on 6th November 2014 set out the importance of taking international and national action to address climate change.
Latest evidence from the UN warns that we face a “very high risk of severe, widespread, and irreversible impacts” from the global impacts of climate change. With the UN also arguing that climate change is a “collective action” problem at the global scale, this calls for an effective and concerted response from governments, businesses, unions and all of us as citizens. We also know that national action alone will not be enough. With next year set to be an unprecedented period of climate change diplomacy internationally, this conference asked what can civil society organisations do to strengthen the case for change? And how can we ensure that a strong and comprehensive UN agreement is reached in 2015?
