The objective of this project is:

• to build the capacity of public services unions to be involved in environment policy discussions with governments and push for environmental policy becoming a tripartite issue;

• to contribute to public sector trade unions’ technical and organisational capacities to engage in effective social dialogue for policy development on climate change mitigation and adaptation and to promote a just and green transition to sustainable development;

• to produce a toolkit that helps public sector trade union leadership analyse and monitor national climate change actions, and gain an understanding of the linkages between labour and environment challenges.

The beneficiaries are:

• Trade union leadership, Education officers, women representatives, young worker representatives and other union officers are direct beneficiaries

• Users of public services and un-organised workers are indirect beneficiaries.
