There are forums on the future for coal, nuclear power and aviation

The huge social and economic changes that are needed to dramatically reduce carbon
emissions are of vital interest to trade unionists, as are the methods by which they can be
achieved. This conference is a chance to engage and debate with each other on these crucial
issues. Campaigners and researchers from the trade union movement will address a series of
workshops on a variety of related issues.

We are also hosting three forums to examine crucial debates for those concerned about
the environment. The discussions around the future for nuclear power, coal and aviation are
controversial ones within our movement. We hope that these debates will help clarify the issues
for delegates.

As the world looks forward to the signing of the Kyoto Treaty’s replacement later this year, our
closing plenary will look at proposals for a new treaty and how trade unionists can support and
join the international protests calling on world governments to sign a climate treaty that will have
social justice at its heart.
