Candice Owley attended daily caucuses of the Trade Union NGO as they strategized how to influence the final outcome of the COP28 talks, including workers’ rights during the transition to green jobs. She also focused on gender and on the health threats from climate crisis. She observed the weaknesses of COP28 but also signs of hope: agreeing to wean the global economy from fossil fuels, committing to halt deforestation by 2030, putting money into the new Loss and Damages Fund, & cutting down on methane leaks.
Candice Owley is a retired labor union official who worked as President of the Wisconsin Federation of Nurses & Health Professionals. She served on the AFT International Executive Board and chaired the health division and international affairs committee. She was on the Executive Board of Public Services International, which regularly met with the UN’s International Labor Organization.
