Un Framework Convention On Climate Change

EDM number 1654 in 2008-09, proposed by David Anderson on 11/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Climate change.

That this House notes the publication of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiating text ahead of the forthcoming climate change talks in Copenhagen; further notes its recognition that reducing emissions will require a transition towards an economy based on more sustainable production, consumption and promotion of sustainable lifestyles; welcomes the UNFCCC's recognition that this should be underpinned by a just transition of the workforce which is central to achieving an agreement on climate change and includes the active participation of all stakeholders; believes that the mistakes of previous economic restructuring, when entire industries and communities were neglected cannot be repeated; and calls on the UK negotiators at the forthcoming climate talks to reflect widespread support amongst trade unions and other civil society organisations in the UK for this just transition clause to be included in the final UNFCCC agreement.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
