Green campaigns
UNISON is committed to campaigning for measures to tackle climate change, and is the only trade union to be signed up to the Stop Climate Chaos coalition.
As part of the National Right to Fuel Campaign (NRFC) UNISON is campaigning for an end to fuel poverty, through improved energy efficiency, better welfare provision and affordable energy.
Tackling climate change means having a sustainable, integrated transport policy. UNISON supports the Campaign for Better Transport, which is dedicated to promoting a transport system that improves the quality of people's lives whilst also reducing the impact of transport on the environment.
Drinking tap water at work is not only good for your health - it's better for the environment. That's why UNISON's Water@work campaign is working to make sure all employers provide adequate drinking water. We're also working to improve santitation and access to safe water supplies across the world through campaigns like WaterAid and Partners for Water and Sanitation (PAWS).
