Time for tackling climate change: Addressing global climate change is
critical to the economic, social and environmental interest of all peoples of the
world. Trade unions believe that ambitious mitigation action is fundamental if
we want to leave our children a sustainable world and a chance for social and
development goals to be achieved. These actions must be fairly shared and
distributed between and within countries: responsibility and capacity must
be the guiding principles for burden sharing. As representative trade unions
from the North & South, we ask all governments to respect the mandate of the
UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and firmly commit to emission
reductions on the basis of their differentiated responsibilities and respective
capabilities.
