Sam Perry is Project Lead for Warm Homes at the Trades Union Congress, where he works to improve job quality in the clean heat and home retrofit sector, promote just and inclusive net zero transitions, and enhance the voices of working people in national and regional decision-making.
He established the North East, Yorkshire, and Humber Just Transition Network; leads on the Climate Action Pledge at Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission; is a national champion and enabler of trade union climate action (especially through green reps); and works closely with DESNZ on workforce planning in the retrofit sector.
Sam's background is in union organising and local authority social housing delivery, and his special interest is the climate, social justice, and economic opportunities of large-scale, publicly delivered home energy upgrades.
