Regional conference on Labour and Environment: What’s been said? A constructive balance

35 participants from 19 different countries participated in the conference on labour and environment organized by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) - Asia Pacific and Sustainlabour from 26 to 28 November in Jakarta (Indonesia), in an area called to play a key role in the future world order, and, at the same time, particularly vulnerable to climate change. During the meeting trade union representatives showed their interest in learning how to integrate environmental issues into its trade union’s agenda, as well as better understand the causes and effects of climate change and better discern what should understand as "green jobs." In addition, there was time to discuss the way to work on chemical risk and on occupational health.
The participants exchanged their trade unions experiences , from coalitions with environmental groups to sue jointly improvements in environmental protection, projects for the identification of chemicals in the workplace, sustainable construction, renewable energy or agriculture. The seminar also included the experiences of the International Federation of Building on deforestation and a presentation about the role that framework agreements could play in advancing more sustainable policies at enterprise level.
