AFL-CIO President John Sweeney is delivering an important address to the UN Summit On Climate Risk today. Sweeney will call for green jobs and greater awareness of global warming's impact on working people around the world. Sweeney will join Al Gore and a diverse group of interests to discuss what needs to happen to stop the accelerated impact of global warming. Sweeney says global prosperity cannot be achieved and maintained unless we secure a stable climate and sustainable energy.
