If the UK government is serious about its commitment to tackle the climate crisis, it must reject the Rosebank oil field. The science is clear: new oil fields are incompatible with a liveable future and the govt’s climate commitments. The UK must #StopRosebank www.theguardian.com/environment/...

📢 @rozsavage.bsky.social: “Action is not optional, it is essential and urgent to protect our health, our economy and our national security.” 🌍 Whilst we welcome today’s statement, Roz is right—words must be followed up with action. 🐝 zerohour.uk #CANBill

'The Climate Crisis is a Working Class Issue' New banner out on the streets at Durham Miners Gala yesterday and lots of conversations on our stall about the year of trade union climate action, starting this autumn. www.cacctu.org.uk/year_of_clim...

Over 1000 trade union health and safety reps have signed up to take part in a nationwide inspection of workplaces this week organised by @tuc.org.uk to check that workers have safe working conditions in heatwaves and to advise employers on adjustments needed. #HeatStrike

Honestly surprised that any companies aiming to be ethical would still be banking with the likes of HSBC or Barclays in 2025. Reminder that it's also easy to switch your current account to a more ethical alternative like Triodos, the Co-operative Bank or Nationwide: www.currentaccountswitch.co.uk

Temperatures of over 35C... but that's not the maximum, it's the MINIMUM temperature in a 24 hour period. One of the worst heatwaves ever seen is hitting the Middle East.

Hi, thanks for including @campaigncc.bsky.social - this smaller account is specifically for trade union work on climate change, it would be great if you could add us! Other friends inc. @gjalliance.bsky.social @platform1983.bsky.social @gndrising.bsky.social @climatejusticeuk.bsky.social...
