Other: F3.1 Traffic - The transport sector is key to to climate and social justice
Emissions from the transport sector continue to rise unchecked. The latest IPCC report shows how urgently we need to change course here too. The overall volume of traffic must be reduced and we need a significantly higher share of public transport and rail in the modal split. This applies to both passenger and freight transport.
Thousands of good jobs can be created in the production of rail vehicles and vehicles for public transport. Employees must be central agents of change. The new jobs to be created in the production of alternative vehicles and in public and rail transport must meet decent work requirements.
In 2020, Fridays for Future in Germany stood in solidarity with public transport workers and supported their strikes - a good example of the climate movement and the labour movement coming together. We will discuss possible strategies with trade unionists, representatives of the climate movement and the Attac group "Einfach umsteigen".
