ILO’s guidelines for a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all

Country / jurisdiction: European Union · Year: 2015 · Status: In force · Level: International · Type: Voluntary

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in November 2015 adopted new guidelines to help governments, workers and employers undertake the process of structural change toward greener economies in a way that achieves just outcomes, including decent jobs and social protections. The guidelines are the product of consultation among nominated experts under each of the categories of participants (governments, workers and employers), based on country-level policies, sectoral strategies and best practices from around the globe. The guidelines include implementing employment-centred macroeconomic policies, targeted environment regulations for industries and sectors, social protections for workers, skills development, and social dialogue, among others. The conclusions were adopted by governments, workers and employers of ILO’s 186 member countries.
