SUBSCRIBE to resistance i www.socialistresistance.net Unlike the G8 leaders, delegates to UNISON conference meeting in Scotland a week earlier gave a clear response …LO the horrors posed to the whole of humanity by the impending danger of climate change.
In giving overwhelming support to a hard-hitting motion, which supports the international day of action against climate change in December 2005, public sector trade unionists showed the way forward for the whole of the labour movement.
Climate change and indeed defence of the environment more generally - is not some side issue that can be left to others to campaign over.
It is an issue that trade unionists and socialists need to make a priority.
In particular, with the "MOP" talks (the first meeting of parties to the Kyoto agreement) planned for Montreal at the end of the year, and the continued refusal of both the US and Australia to sign up to even this inadequate treaty, building the broadest possible support for the day of action is an urgent task.
Get your organisation to sign up to the call:
We support the call for
demonstrations - that is demonstrations on the same day in as many countries around the world as possible - on Saturday 3rd December 2005, timed to coincide with the 'MOP' Climate Talks (28th November to 9th December) in Montreal.
These demonstrations will demand that the USA and Australia ratify the Kyoto Protocol immediately, and that the entire world community move as rapidly as possible to a stronger emissions reductions treaty that will be both equitable and effective in stabilising 'greenhouse' gases and preventing dangerous climate change.
