*Climate Change, and Caroline Lucas MP*

This year’s TUC climate change conference is at a crucial period in
climate change policymaking. The Government’s “austerity” packages have
already had a serious impact on a wide range of green projects – see TUC
blogs at: http://www.touchstoneblog.org.uk/
Chris Huhne MP, the coalition’s Environment Secretary, will set make an
opening keynote speech, with a TUC response from Frances O’Grady. Then
David Kennedy, CEO of the Ctee on Climate Change, will present a climate
science and industry briefing. Eight workshops will tackle: the Green
Investment Bank, local alliances, green skills, transport, energy market
reforms, energy intensive industries, Cancun, the coalition’s plans for
the Green Deal, etc.
Fanny Armstrong and other climate experts join our afternoon Panel, with
Paul Noon, General Secretary of Prospect and TUC General Council lead on
climate change; Mick Leahy, GS of Community trade union, the lead union
in steelmaking; Jeremy Nicholson, Director of the Energy intensive
industries users group; and Joan Walley MP, Chair, Environmental Audit
Committee. The panel is followed by a closing contribution from Caroline
Lucas MP. Prospect GS Paul Noon chairs the conference.
