UNEP-Sustainlabour project: After 3 fruitful years, looking ahead to more activity!

The month of June 2010 marked the closing of a three years joint UNEP- Sustainlabour project “Strengthening trade union participation in international environmental processes” as part of UNEP´s programme on Labour and the Environment, with the support of the Government of Spain. The project has proven to be an initiative of great importance, contributing not only to promoting trade union participation in international environmental processes, but also to develop a number of activities for strengthening Trade Union capacities at the local and national level.
The area of work on “Labour and Environment” that opened this programme in a pioneer manner, has acquired over time important political relevance, demonstrating the necessity to also include the world of production through workers´ organizations in the impulse of sustainability policies.
