Two UK Trade Unions Support Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

Two additional trade unions in the UK have recently joined the growing chorus of voices calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of a global effort to facilitate international cooperation in transitioning away from fossil fuels. The University and College Union (UCU) and the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) have both endorsed the call for a treaty, adding to the momentum of this important initiative.

The UCU, representing university and college staff, and the BFAWU, representing workers in the food industry, are now part of a coalition of trade unions representing over 30 million workers worldwide who are advocating for a Fossil Fuel Treaty.

Jo Grady, general secretary of the UCU, emphasized the urgent need for action, stating, “We face catastrophic climate change if we do not have a fast and fair plan to phase out fossil fuels. We must listen to the climate scientists and prioritize a just transition away from fossil fuels.”

Similarly, Sarah Woolley, general secretary of the BFAWU, highlighted the importance of involving workers in the transition to a decarbonized economy, noting that industrial processes still rely heavily on fossil fuels. She stressed the need for a plan that prioritizes workers’ voices and ensures a fair and equitable transition.

Ken Penton, UK advisor to the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, praised the unions for their support, emphasizing the critical role of such a treaty in addressing the urgent threat of climate change. He noted that the treaty provides a mechanism for countries to collaborate on phasing out fossil fuels and protecting future generations from the devastating impacts of climate change.
