The COP26 in Glasgow and the follow-up of the trade union Forum on Ecological and Social transitions

All the versions of this article: [English] [Español] [français]

At the end of October, world leaders gathered in Glasgow for COP26. Many activities and actions took place to put pressure on them to make sure that the decisions taken are commensurate with the challenges.

Building on the success of the trade union forum on ecological and social transitions, we believe it is important to continue to make the voice of workers heard and to strengthen the presence of trade union organisations at these international events.

The COP26 coalition of British organisations, groups and trade unions convened a major demonstration in Glasgow on 6 November; over 100,000 people attended!

As part of the People’s Summit from 7-10 November in Glasgow and online, Alter Summit and its partners presented the International Trade Union Forum on Ecological and Social Transitions on 8 November.

After the success of the first International Trade Union Forum on Ecological and Social Transitions initiated among others by Alter Summit, we think it is important to continue our work on the issues shared and debated during the 6 days in June.
To do so, we put at your disposal :

The final Declaration of the Forum

The summaries of the workshops in different languages
English - French - Spanish - Russian

WATCH the workshops in different languages on Youtube

These contents seem to us to be the most relevant contributions of the Forum allowing the fight against climate change to be concretised on the ground and in particular in the world of work.

With Alter Summit we intend to continue the work for a social and popular ecological transition!
