UNI Europa is campaigning together with the European Trade Union Federations and the ETUC against CETA - the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement- in its current form. We must act now, so please support a series of upcoming actions against CETA.

Most importantly, we need YOU, the affiliates, to take action and let your government and relevant ministers know that you, together with your sister organisations across Europe, reject CETA. Your government and ministers must know!

The G7 Summit in Shima, Japan, was the first occasion for the G7 Heads of States to gather since the Paris Agreement was agreed upon last December, with climate and energy on the official G7 agenda.

Clearly, the aggregated commitments are not in line with the 2C target, a temperature rise no longer considered safe, let alone 1.5C. Major economies need to deal with the ambition void rather than just celebrate what was accomplished.

The forty-fourth sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI 44) and  Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA 44) as well as the first session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA 1) will take place from 16 to 26 May 2016, in Bonn, Germany. This is the first meeting taking place since the adoption of the Paris Agreement.

The Worker and Trade Union Major Group has submitted an official document to the 2016 High-Level Political Forum highlighting the role of social dialogue to combat inequality, ensure social cohesion and decent jobs for all.

Today, on Earth Day, at least 168 nations will sign the historic Paris Climate Agreement in New York against a backdrop of growing voices calling for a just transition towards a world powered by 100 percent renewable energy.
