Ensuring a “just transition” to the new green economy
Transitioning to a “green” economy will require a buy-in from governments, businesses and employees, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO).
The UN agency has been studying how to ensure a “just transition” to economic growth that provides decent jobs and is also environmentally sustainable.
Dr Esther Byer-Suckoo, the Minister of Labour, Human Resources and Social Security in Barbados, recently chaired an ILO expert meeting on the subject.
