http://www.ituc-csi.org/climate-change-and-green-economy.html - Green and decent
jobs are crucial for workers and for the planet. This is the main message coming
out from the Asian and the Pacific workers’ group after three days of
experience-sharing with governments and employers on the International
Labour Organisation’s Green Jobs
Conference in Asia.
In the workers’
group final, inspiring remarks, Brother W.M Naim from the Malaysian Trade Union
Congress, confirmed the labour movements’ commitment to this agenda. “We still
have much to learn, but we are conscious that we will only achieve full
employment and decent work in our region if we protect the environment and fight
climate change”, said Naim. And he made a plea to governments and employers, the
other two constituencies of the ILO: “We urgently need to act. The transition
must start now”.
