The UK must take immediate and decisive action to stay on course for a greener future, according to UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea.
Strong policies, investment in green jobs, and public engagement are essential to achieving long-term environmental and economic stability.
For the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable economy, both affected communities and workers need clear, structured plans.
Families struggling with the cost of living will require financial support to adopt green technologies. Without firm action, progress could stall, leaving the UK lagging behind in its climate commitments.
Labour ministers now face the challenge of delivering on climate promises without delay. Unlike the previous government, which faced legal action over its climate shortcomings, they must prioritise real solutions over empty pledges.
UNISON, the UK’s largest trade union, represents over 1.3 million public service workers, including those in the NHS, education, local government, policing, and energy.
The union continues to advocate for a fair and effective transition to a greener economy that benefits both workers and communities.
