bignosePreventing climate catastrophe requires society-scale #CollectiveAction. To get widespread support, that requires everyone whose life is required to change, must be supported. It requires sustained, meaningful #ClimateJustice.
The #WorkerUnion movement knows this, and brought a solid win in #Australia:
> The National Net Zero Authority will ensure workers in emissions-intensive industries impacted on the road to net zero will be fully supported with individualised worker transition plans to ensure they experience a fair transition with access to quality, secure and safe jobs in new industries.
> The Authority will also spur new opportunities – particularly in Australia’s energy regions – by creating new jobs, facilitating investment, developing new industries, and supporting place-based economic diversification.
This only happens when we demand it, for everyone who needs it. #AllTheSameFight
New National Net Zero Authority a win for workers and climate
The ACTU welcomes the Federal Government’s announcement today of a new National Net Zero Authority to support workers and their communities and to deliver a just transition to a net zero emissions economy. The new Authority will help maximise the benefits and minimise the risks of Australia’s energy transition, driving the creation of good jobs in new industries and ensuring no worker or community is left behind.
