Climate change is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As journalists, we have a special responsibility to report on the facts and associated effects of climate change, contributing to the public debate and empowering citizens to take action. As trade unionists, we demand a just transition for all workers impacted by the shift to a zero-carbon economy.
