Climate Change and the Carbon Reduction Commitment - A Negotiating Handbook

COIN has produced a handbook to help UNISON green reps negotiate with their employers for action on climate change.  It cuts through the complexity of current legislation to focus on practical approaches for reps and union members .

It covers areas such as:

• What are employers doing, how can union reps help them do more?
• Understand how the Carbon Reduction Commitment affects your organisation and how you can use it in negotiations
• How do reps mobilise members around the climate change issue?
• How to get started on energy projects

It has loads of useful links to numerous union , government and business reports and publications as background information to the wider climate change issue.

"This is a great resource; it's lively and easy to read, packed with good advice as well as all the information needed for negotiating with employers on climate change action."
