Climate change is one of the most pressing economic, social and environmental challenges we face.

We believe, as educators and unionists that it's vital unions are involved in debates on climate change to ensure that workers are not left out in the move to a low-pollution economy.

The AEU believes the federal government's policy of a price on pollution is a necessary first step in taking action on climate change, and is pleased the legislation has passed through parliament. We thank all AEU members who joined the campaign.
