• 31 Aug 2023 Net Zero is actually Net Six when it comes to changes in Secretary of State for Energy since 2019. If ever there was a symbol of why this government can't get long-term thinking right. [Source]
• 31 Jul 2023 Nuclear is key to our future prosperity, energy security and climate targets. Instead of more talk from government, we need action. Important report from @CommonsSITC https://inews.co.uk/news/business/government-nuclear-plans-more-wish-list-than-strategy-2514639 [Source]
• 22 Jun 2023 Hard hat day. Thanks to National Gas for showing @Bill_Esterson & me around the #Peterborough Compressor Station. The facility has a vital role role on powering the nation, energy security & transition to Net Zero https://twitter.com/andrewpakes_/status/1671971776027303963/photo/1 [Source]
• 05 Jun 2023 Good to see this. Nuclear runs through our national objectives for energy security & Net Zero. We have the opportunity to grow a new generation of skills & jobs. But we need a government that will seize it https://twitter.com/hinkleypointc/status/1665702142563295232 [Source]
• 04 Jun 2023 There’s jobs for #Peterborough in this. Better jobs. Jobs with prospects. Jobs in the green energy supply chain. Just what we need @jreynoldsMP https://twitter.com/jreynoldsMP/status/1665310604129648640 [Source]
• 22 May 2023 "We emphasize that freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining play an important role in promoting decent work and wage growth" Good to see G7 Leaders recognise importance of decent work, collective bargaining & Just Transition https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/05/20/g7-hiroshima-leaders-communique/ [Source]
• 17 Nov 2022 I hope this is a new dawn for nuclear with progress on Sizewell C. But we've had a lost decade. Net Zero and good jobs needs an acceleration of progress not just rhetoric #AutumnStatement [Source]
• 09 Nov 2022 There is no theory of change here or plan to win over support. I strongly believe we need to take the climate crisis seriously. But this is not it. Performance action over coalition building https://twitter.com/BBCLookEast/status/1590255904556982272 [Source]
• 01 Nov 2022 So often the public are ahead on the need to create a better, fairer approach on climate change. People want leadership. And tangible plans for decent green jobs & growth https://twitter.com/YouGov/status/1587046726921224192 [Source]
• 26 Sep 2022 Labour’s new Sovereign Wealth Fund will make whole of UK an enterprise zone. Not by lowering standards & tax breaks at the top but by good, decent green jobs & opportunities across the country #Lab22 #NetZero @Ed_Miliband https://twitter.com/andrewpakes_/status/1574351554467008513/photo/1 [Source]
• 19 Jul 2022 One of the things that makes me angriest about Boris is that he keeps going on about how UK is a leader on climate change. Yet he has consistently failed to invest in the skills, technology & strategy to live up to that promise #ClimateCrisis [Source]
• 19 Jul 2022 Kicking back after a hot day. Well done everyone for looking after each other. And respect to our public services. Let’s keep the real heat under the feet of our politicians to do better on climate change https://twitter.com/andrewpakes_/status/1549495447873589249/photo/1 [Source]
• 19 Jul 2022 Today I’ve been discussing work of @ProspectUnion members in energy & renewables. On our hottest day ever. #ClimateCrisis is hitting us now. Being green needs to be about people & planet - with a #JustTransition & quality jobs supporting quality infrastructure #JoinAUnion [Source]
• 12 Jul 2022 Biodiversity crisis is also a financial & workforce crisis. We keep launching grand national plans whilst simultaneously running down expertise and nature conservation. Austerity & climate crisis a toxic mix https://news.sky.com/story/environment-agency-chief-warns-of-irreversible-biodiversity-damage-that-could-eventually-kill-off-humans-12650103 [Source]
• 25 May 2022 This is really important - Net Zero, decent jobs, investment in communities. New nuclear is part of how we rebuild this country in a sustainable way @ProspectUnion @GMB_union https://twitter.com/GMBWSW/status/1529109848440426501 [Source]
• 25 Apr 2022 Job klaxon: #energy security, energy supply, #JustTransition, #skills, jobs, power generation, climate. So much going on & we are looking for an energy researcher to work with @FernsSue, me & @ProspectUnion members to make good work an energy issue https://prospect.current-vacancies.com/Jobs/Advert/2645678?cid=2102&t=Energy-Research-Officer [Source]
• 22 Apr 2022 This from @ilo - climate action means good labour standards means social protection means involving communities & workers #JustTransition #EarthDay #ClimateActionNow https://twitter.com/guebrayberhane/status/1517432074663305217 [Source]
• 15 Apr 2022 #JustTransition has to be at core of plans for #NetZero. That means decent jobs, involving communities. Energy security & good, secure jobs. Well said @UnionTyke @ProspectUnion https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/opinion/4166423/decarbonisation-make-cost-living-crisis-worse-opinion/ https://twitter.com/andrewpakes_/status/1514969786584862724/photo/1 [Source]
• 27 Mar 2022 This is really important. We've talked too long about new nuclear to underpin #netzero without action to make it happen. Better energy security, low-carbon & decent (unionised) https://twitter.com/SkyScottBeasley/status/1508027081355145217 [Source]
• 22 Mar 2022 And we have no hope at innovation, sustainable growth and shared prosperity unless we fix our broken skills system. We are poor at vocational and skills training. But #NetZero + 4th Ind Rev need better skilled workers than ever before #SpringStatement ????/4 https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1506214719794946056/photo/1 [Source]
• 16 Mar 2022 There is some good stuff in this @LinkedIn report on Green Skills. But even with a whole section on Just Transition not a single mention of unions. Or worker voice. It's like policy can be imposed on people. No involvement https://economicgraph.linkedin.com/research/global-green-skills-report [Source]
• 16 Mar 2022 @SamAlvis2 @GreenAllianceUK @racheljanetwolf I think there is a general point about how we manage economic change in UK not just green. But also 1) lots of Just Transition is about move from high-carbon to low-carbon work 2) green is become a catch-all for a lot of things now 3) top-down lobbying alienates some communities [Source]
• 16 Mar 2022 @SamAlvis2 @GreenAllianceUK @racheljanetwolf Green groups don't talk enough about quality & nature of work. We need to break out of policy wonk circles. But big base of Just Transition does involve unions. Esp in energy. Even more so in other countries [Source]
• 16 Mar 2022 @SamAlvis2 @GreenAllianceUK @racheljanetwolf I do find all of these reports that talk about workers and Just Transition but don't mention worker voice or unions weird. Missed opportunity. But also not how change is made. Trusted, good work has to be part of green jobs agenda. That means change with, not change to, people [Source]
• 11 Mar 2022 New nuclear (big & small) stands as the test about whether UK is serious about energy security & net zero. We can’t achieve either without it. That means: govt leadership; funding; long-term industrial strategy; & growing net zero out of British jobs, talents & industry [Source]
• 07 Mar 2022 Alarmist message from Alan Duncan about gas supplies on @BBCr4today. Underscores how we’ve taken our eye off energy security over last two decades. Security needs to be golden thread through #NetZero & fair prices [Source]
• 28 Feb 2022 We’ve wilfully neglected our energy infrastructure. Putting out a press release is not the same as making something happen. Energy security, net-zero, industrial strategy, decent jobs all need long-term commitment - starting with new nuclear and renewables https://twitter.com/KwasiKwarteng/status/1498197291014012936 [Source]
• 06 Feb 2022 This is why investing in new nuclear & long-term energy infrastructure is essential to energy security & #netzero. Also essential for new skilled jobs in the UK. We need to get on with it. https://twitter.com/CSkidmoreUK/status/1490276192569769986 [Source]
• 28 Jan 2022 This thread is imp to anyone who cares about restoring & protect our natural world. Conservationists & green campaigners need to start speaking up against burnout of our nature workforce @ProspectUnion @TheENDSReport #climate #nature #netzero https://twitter.com/TheENDSReport/status/1486333046227968005 [Source]
• 27 Jan 2022 What @GMBGarySmith says. New nuclear means decent jobs as well as net zero. People & planet. https://twitter.com/GMBGarySmith/status/1486765478127284230 [Source]
• 12 Jan 2022 Some useful stuff in this @GreenAllianceUK report on green skills. But still too little on role of building trust with existing workforce, negotiating change & role of unions. #Justtransition needs to involve workers, not just be imposed https://twitter.com/GreenAllianceUK/status/1481178664918306816 [Source]
• 09 Jan 2022 And of course #netzero, new energy infrastructure & energy efficiency can only be delivered with investment in skilled workforce #JustTransition #climate https://twitter.com/andrewpakes_/status/1480108664585338880 [Source]
• 09 Jan 2022 Household bills are on everyones minds but good to see @RachelReevesMP @Ed_Miliband also focus on need to get our energy infrastructure right - inc new nuclear & renewables. Net zero, security of supply & fair prices all need modern infrastructure https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jan/08/labour-proposes-windfall-tax-on-north-sea-oil-and-gas-to-reduce-bills [Source]
• 05 Jan 2022 Good to see discussion about UK energy policy in #PMQs. But scale & urgency of net zero challenge requires much more action on new nuclear & renewables - as @ProspectUnion has been saying https://prospect.org.uk/news/elements-of-net-zero-strategy-are-welcome-but-there-is-not-enough-urgency [Source]
• 28 Dec 2021 @antoniabance @alexevansuk Also goes to heart of why #JustTransition is so important. Power within places as well as across the world. Just telling people they will have green jobs doesn’t make it so. Or listen to their stories. Progressive coalitions need to be porous not fortresses [Source]
• 29 Nov 2021 This is why the idea of green jobs needs to be more than a slogan. It needs an industrial strategy, investment in skills & involvement of workers & communities to make it a reality #JustTransition #Netzero https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59430224 [Source]
• 24 Nov 2021 If we don’t invest in a world-class climate & environmental workforce then we won’t protect people or planet. #Solidarity with @ProspectUnion members at Natural England #NetZero #greenjobs #climate #nature https://twitter.com/ProspectUnion/status/1463470023083798532 [Source]
• 05 Nov 2021 This is great news by @ProspectUnion @unitetheunion winning recognition deal for workers in SSE renewables. We can only achieve a #JustTransition & #climate justice when workers are involved #Joinaunion #COP26 https://prospect.org.uk/news/prospect-and-unite-land-key-agreement-in-sse-renewables [Source]
• 05 Nov 2021 People & planet. Climate is a union issue @ProspectUnion #COP26 https://twitter.com/ProspectUnion/status/1456632735108378639 [Source]
• 21 Oct 2021 This should be one of the stories of #COP26. Great piece on why #JustTransition is essential to dealing with climate crisis. As Paul says here: the path to zero carbon runs through unions & people’s ambitions for a decent job @ProspectUnion https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/19/switched-career-coal-working-renewables [Source]
• 19 Oct 2021 We've been playing catch up on net-zero for too long. Any meaningful & realistic carbon reduction plan requires an industrial strategy & investment in new nuclear https://twitter.com/CityAM/status/1450349523583201287 [Source]
• 21 Jan 2020 Interesting results in @PwC_UK #CEOSurvey with business leaders expressing clear concerns over climate change & speed of #tech change. Strong need for a partnership approach to big issues & prosperity - I'd also add need for worker voice #futureofwork https://www.pwc.co.uk/ceo-survey.html#download https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1219528525025333249/photo/1 [Source]
• 14 Jan 2020 This is great - we need more like Deborah. This is also why #nature #climate #environment #wildlife #climatechange is union business. Nature needs a skilled workforce & public resources #WeAreProspect✊???????????? https://twitter.com/ProspectUnion/status/1217054819740979200 [Source]
• 22 Nov 2019 Climate change and our response to it will be a defining issue for this generation. Great blog by @FernsSue on why we need urgent action to get us on the right track - and why this matters for @ProspectUnion members #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency ???? https://twitter.com/ProspectUnion/status/1197920495183761409 [Source]
• 15 Nov 2019 @SHaleGeneva Agreed. It is like climate policy. When green campaigners talk about radical energy policy without mentioning jobs they alienate a lot of people/places. Thankfully Just Transition becoming a lot more mainstream - sustaining communities and changing our energy system. [Source]
• 28 Oct 2019 Leadership & public investment needed if we want to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy sector. Important points here on decarbonisation from @nickb2211 @FT(£) #JustTransition https://on.ft.com/31RIoKz [Source]
• 25 Oct 2019 This. If we want quickest route to low carbon we need to get the mix right. Also good that Labour recognised this point in its green industrial revolution this week. Now we just need a proper government plan #ClimateChange #JustTransition https://t.co/pYOp5nOjzd [Source]
• 02 Oct 2019 Rooting calls for action in reality of people’s lives is essential in battle against #climatechange. Important read from @lisanandy climate action needs to bring people together not add to divisions. Also why #JustTransition so important to winning hearts & cutting carbon https://twitter.com/lisanandy/status/1179440057956130816 [Source]
• 24 Sep 2019 Climate ambition also needs decent (unionised) jobs, focus on skills & #JustTransition. Science, investment & jobs go together to tackle #climatecrisis. Good to see @fernssue @ProspectUnion in @fionaharvey @guardian write up of @RLong_Bailey green plans https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/24/labour-unveils-83bn-state-windfarms-plan-before-key-climate-vote https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1176415154499674112/photo/1 [Source]
• 24 Sep 2019 Strikes me trust needs to be high on agenda for Green New Deal. Amazing energy from campaigners. But a lot of anxiety from workers & unions on how change will be done. We need to work to build a #JustTransition: words need to become real & part of shared conversation [Source]
• 20 Sep 2019 In London on route to @The_TUC. Brilliant energy from those showing support for action on #ClimateEmergency. Even better to see so many union folks involved. #climatecrisis & #JustTransition equal challenges we need to rise to @ProspectUnion @bectu ✊???????? https://twitter.com/FrancesOGrady/status/1174941762772774912 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2019 This. Big ambitions are important. But any policy that doesn’t start with jobs people do today and how we transition workers & communities will fail to land successfully #JustTransition #GreenNewDeal https://twitter.com/powellds/status/1174711559978934272 [Source]
• 10 Sep 2019 #climatecrisis & decent jobs needs investment in low-carbon infrastructure & skilled, unionised jobs. We need to do more to make ‘green’ employers = decent employers. Always spot on by @FernsSue speaking for @The_TUC General Council #TUC2019 @ProspectUnion https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1171430758126239748/photo/1 [Source]
• 10 Sep 2019 Great shout out to energy unions from @1stevenicko in #TUC2019 #climatecrisis debate. We need unions at forefront of climate action, defending science & a #JustTransition for workers & planet @GMB_union @unitetheunion @ProspectUnion @unisontweets ✊???????? https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1171422391039221762/photo/1 [Source]
• 10 Sep 2019 #tech changes, problems don’t. Transition of #tech #AI #data #ClimateCrisis needs a voice for workers over skills, training, diversity and how change is managed. Great speech by @NHC_65 @ProspectUnion @bectu on skills challenges of #futureofwork #unions #TUC2019 ✊???????? https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1171354738069319680/photo/1 [Source]
• 21 Aug 2019 Great to see @ProspectScot reps getting ready to help raise #climatecrisis over coming months. In defence of science, a balanced energy policy, protecting nature & #JustTransition for workers. ???? = a union issue @ProspectUnion @mikeclancy1 ✊????????@UnionTyke https://twitter.com/UnionTyke/status/1164246523800170496 [Source]
• 16 Aug 2019 Great day with @ProspectUnion #environment reps planning how we can build action on #climatecrisis. This is really important to us as a science & #energy union. It’s not just about climate - it’s also about a #JustTransition & good jobs @FernsSue ✊????????https://www.prospect.org.uk/blog/index/2019/June/12/Why-climate-crisis-is-also-jobs-crisis https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1162376350851837952/photo/1 [Source]
• 05 Aug 2019 Great to see @ProspectUnion backing @RenewableUK calls for expansion of onshore wind. Urgent action needed now on low-carbon infrastructure, climate leadership & decent jobs. #ClimateAction = a union issue #JustTransition ✊???????? https://www.blog.renewableuk.com/post/onshore-voices https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1158435174583078912/photo/1 [Source]
• 02 Aug 2019 This. We can’t protect communities and rise to our climate obligations without investment in our public environmental bodies - including the specialists & workforce to do the job @ProspectUnion #climatechange #ClimateCrisis https://twitter.com/ProspectUnion/status/1157406714997686279 [Source]
• 12 Jun 2019 Good overview of challenges in reaching #netzero emissions by @fionaharvey. A #JustTransition for jobs and communities needs to be at the heart of plans to get us there - including comment from @FernsSue @ProspectUnion https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1138858122284601344 [Source]
• 11 Jun 2019 Few issues are as international as climate change. Yet just as government turns hard right on #brexit they say they also want to deal with carbon emissions https://twitter.com/PickardJE/status/1138560843732455425 [Source]
• 11 Jun 2019 Big ambition. But it will only make a difference if government get an energy plan in place that delivers low carbon infrastructure we need #climatechange #netzeroUK https://twitter.com/adamvaughan_uk/status/1138559029381357568 [Source]
• 05 Jun 2019 Great short video on @ProspectUnion expertise and work across renewables and energy systems. #ClimateEmergency needs highly-skilled workers and a #JustTransition to make low-carbon work for people as well as planet. Work in energy - join info here ????⚡️https://www.prospect.org.uk/landing-pages/join-prospect-today/?_ts=1 https://twitter.com/ProspectUnion/status/1136213572759855104 [Source]
• 04 Jun 2019 Unions are best advocates of our national energy needs. As workers, members of our communities & following evidence on climate change. @ProspectUnion helping to lead this debate including a #JustTransition says @FernsSue at @ProspectUnion #ProspectEnergy conference. [Source]
• 04 Jun 2019 So much important work going on in energy - going low carbon, tackling climate emissions & creating decent jobs. @ProspectUnion is an amazing network of engineers, specialists & energy members #ProspectEnergy https://www.prospect.org.uk/landing-pages/join-prospect-today/?_ts=1 https://twitter.com/ProspectUnion/status/1135823376021360641 [Source]
• 31 May 2019 This is why need leadership on #ClimateCrisis ⬆️ Need for urgent action on emissions going up ⬇️ Renewable energy jobs going down UK already losing out on climate action. As our @ProspectUnion report shows, it’s time for action ???? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/30/renewable-energy-jobs-in-uk-plunge-by-a-third?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other [Source]
• 30 May 2019 For all the buzz about #ClimateCrisis & #GreenNewDeal jobs in UK renewable energy have been going backwards. We urgently need investment in jobs & green tech. And for a #JustTransition for current workers. More on @ProspectUnion report here https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/30/renewable-energy-jobs-in-uk-plunge-by-a-third https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1134100942176104448/photo/1 [Source]
• 13 May 2019 An evening in Stockholm. Real contrast to UK with @socialdemokrat campaign making EU elections about shared prosperity & shared need to make a different on climate change. Just where progressive parties should be https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1128046352196427776/photo/1 [Source]
• 09 May 2019 Great to see @NZPSA @TogetherUnionNZ playing a leading role, alongside government, at NZ #JustTransitionNZ Summit. Success = ambition for climate change, jobs & communities https://twitter.com/NZPSA/status/1126337562065362944 [Source]
• 02 May 2019 Clear evidence and ambition from @theCCCuk on need to reach #NetZeroUk by 2050. Really pleased report talks about importance of #JustTransition and making this a jobs revolution, as well as a green one. Now time for government to act https://twitter.com/theCCCuk/status/1123725033250140162 [Source]
• 23 Apr 2019 Ambition on climate change needs a #justtransition to deliver skilled jobs & opportunities for communities. Great to see @alexsobel supporting @ProspectUnion @unisontweets @GMB_union @unitetheunion work on getting this right ???????????????? https://twitter.com/LowSampson/status/1120737722392555521 [Source]
• 04 Apr 2019 Enjoying seeing the energy & ideas from New Zealand friends at #CTUPower19 conference. We need new ideas more than ever to reach out to new workers. Great to see diversity, equality & climate change part of the trade union story @NZPSA @TogetherUnionNZ https://twitter.com/GreyNZ/status/1113196607988674560 [Source]
• 01 Apr 2019 Great to see so many unions working on #JustTransition #GoodGreenJobs and making the case for #workervoice in climate change and energy debates. Investment in renewables, nuclear and new infrastructure key to low-carbon transition @ProspectUnion @The_TUC https://twitter.com/NVJRobins1/status/1112713359290519552 [Source]
• 23 Mar 2019 I’ve lost count of the times the three of us have marched together - for workers’ rights, for action on climate change, against racism. All of those things made harder if we have the PM’s deal or #NoDeal #Brexit #PutinToThePeople https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1109489326327545858/photo/1 [Source]
• 17 Mar 2019 This is important from @RLong_Bailey. #ClimateChange is on the march & we need an energy policy to match the challenge. That means security of supply, cutting carbon & getting on with it https://twitter.com/andrew4mk/status/1107224988497645568/photo/1 [Source]
• 11 Mar 2019 Great to see @ProspectUnion member Billy Gundry talking about a #JustTransition and our work as part of @IPPRNorth @IPPR decarbonisation report. Unions are essential to securing high-quality jobs & making low-carbon transition a success https://www.ippr.org/research/publications/a-just-transition https://twitter.com/IPPRNorth/status/1105092415017373696 [Source]
