Environment Committee

The Alberta labour movement believes that economic issues cannot be properly addressed without considering the impact of development and industry on the environment. With that is mind, the AFL's Environment Committee has worked hard to promote a worker-friendly approach to sustainable develop. The committee disseminates information and organizes events aimed at building an economy that meets the needs of working people while respecting the environment.

Read the Environment Committee pamphlet, Why Protecting the Environment is a Trade Union Issue, linking labour and the environment.

Much of the work of the Environment Committee is driven by Our Children's Future: Fighting for Jobs and the Environment, a key policy paper passed at the 1999 AFL Convention and Climate Change, a policy paper passed at the 2007 AFL Convention.
