Trade unions and climate change: Workshop on climate change, its impacts on employment and labour markets
This is the report of the workshop on "Climate change, its impact on employment and labour markets" organised by the Global Union Research Network and coordinated by the ILO’s Bureau for Workers’ Activities and the International Trade Union Confederation. The aim of the workshop was to discuss academic research on the employment aspects of climate change and identify research gaps. This in turn would help the global trade union movement in its efforts to build cohesion and find creative and reliable ideas, solutions and examples to push for a socially just and environmentally sustainable society. Impacts of climate change on employment and new ‘green’ skills were among the issues addressed during the workshop.
