Caring for our Climate
UNISON Cymru Wales Learning team held a unique one day online event on Wednesday 30th March 2022.
This event is part of UNISON’s actions to respond to the challenge of the climate crisis, offering practical ways that we can act – individually and collectively – to care for our climate and our communities.
We had the following wonderful speakers:
- Isla Horton from Grow Cardiff on growing food in workplaces and communities
- Dr Emma Fieldhouse playing the Bananas Game to build climate literacy everywhere
- Rob Abrams from MedAct about the idea of Health for a Green New Deal
- Maeve Cohen from The Social Guarantee on the importance of public services for climate resilience
The themes of the day were about the idea of care work as climate work and public service jobs as green jobs, the vital role of public service workers in climate resilience, the challenges of decarbonisation in public service workplaces, and the opportunities for building better workplaces and a fairer society through a just transition and a green new deal.

Understanding PTSD
As the covid-19 pandemic hit, our members in public services were facing a rising tide of traumatic experiences. We organised a special information event delivered by Anglesey-based BABCP accredited CBT expert, Keith Fearns, to help our colleagues understand more about post-traumatic stress.
