ILO (2019). Working on a warmer planet: The effect of heat stress on productivity and decent work.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The phenomenon of heat stress refers to heat received in excess of that which the body can tolerate without physiological impairment. It is one of the major consequences of global warming. By 2030, the equivalent of more than 2 per cent of total working hours worldwide is projected to be lost every year, either because it is too hot to work or because workers have to work at a slower pace. This report shows the impact of heat stress on productivity and decent work for virtually all countries in the world. It presents innovative solutions based on social dialogue to promote occupational safety and health for the most vulnerable groups of workers.

Just transition commitments made by many countries at UN Climate Action Summit (2019)

NEW YORK (ILO News) - The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, has called on Governments to take people-centred action to create decent jobs and protect livelihoods, as the world moves to a carbon-neutral economy.

Addressing delegates at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York, Prime Minister Sanchez said, "'The economic transition that we need cannot leave anyone behind, it has to be a just transition. Our climate-related ambitions and social commitments must also go hand in hand with the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

"Spain intends to be at the forefront of a transition that puts people at the center of the action. Spain wants to promote an international just transition partnership with the ILO."

The commitments represent a significant engagement by governments, employers organizations, trade unions, UN agencies and civil society to pursue a common agenda to advance a just transition to environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all.

Speaking after the Summit, ILO Director-General Guy Ryder said, "A just transition means ensuring the climate actions we take protect the planet, people and the economy. This Initiative is designed to encourage policy coherence around measures that boost decent green job opportunities, skills development, and enterprise innovation, along with social protection measures for the vulnerable."

Guy Ryder, ILO Director-General

Ryder welcomed the commitments made by countries to make national plans for a just transition and create decent green jobs. ILO data shows that measures to green the production and energy use could lead to job gains of some 24 million jobs by 2030.

Announcing the Climate Action for Jobs Initiative, just ahead of the Summit, UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, said, "Business cannot succeed on a planet that fails. Jobs cannot be sustained on a dying planet. We will need government, businesses and people everywhere to join these efforts so we can put climate action into a higher gear."

The Initiative sets out specific measures for countries to include in national plans, including:

Assessing the employment, social, and economic impact of climate action.

Implementing skills development and upgrading measures.

Designing innovative social protection policies to protect workers and vulnerable groups.

Increasing the transfer of technology and knowledge to developing countries, alongside innovation and responsible investment.

Fostering a conducive business environment to enable enterprises, particularly SMEs, to adopt low-carbon production processes.

Devising economic policies and incentives to support and encourage enterprises' transition towards the environmentally sustainable production of goods and services.

Creating mechanisms for inclusive social dialogue to build consensus for transformative and sustainable change.

The ILO Guidelines for a Just Transition, adopted by governments and representatives of employers' and workers' organizations, offer a framework to guide the transition to low-carbon economies.
Implementation of the initiative will be led by the ILO, with support from other partners, including the International Trade Union Confederation and the International Organisation of Employers.

Silesia Declaration on Just Transition (2018)

# data[].attributes.body
Governments must step up and commit to Just Transition for workers and the creation of decent work and quality jobs if we are to reach the climate ambition needed to stop climate warming at 1.5°C, warned the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) at the opening of COP24 in Poland.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The ITUC welcomed the initiative of the Polish COP Presidency to present and adopt the "Solidarity and Just Transition Silesia Declaration" at COP24 and called on all governments to adopt the declaration.

Sharan Burrow, General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation, said: "Unions want decent jobs on a living planet. Building trust through the guarantees of Just Transition measures will make it possible for governments to raise ambition. We need all governments to get behind this declaration so we leave no one behind."

By adopting the Silesia declaration, countries are committing to take seriously the impact of climate change and climate policies on workers, their families and communities when they prepare and implement their new NDCs, national adaptation plans and national long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies.

"This declaration means that workers and their unions will have a seat at the negotiating table and workers' voices will be heard when climate policies are developed and implemented. Good social dialogue processes are a crucial factor to make the changes to industries, sectors and national economies that will stop dangerous climate change and unleash a 65 million low-carbon jobs dividend by 2030," said Sharan Burrow.

The governments of Canada, New Zealand, Scotland and Spain have committed to Just Transition and launched national processes to deliver it:

* In Canada, the government has set up a Task Force on Just Transition for Canadian Coal Power Workers and Communities. It will provide advice on how to make the transition away from coal a fair one for workers and communities.

* In New Zealand, the government is developing a Just Transition and economic diversification plan based on social dialogue with unions and broad stakeholder consultation. The plan will be for regions that currently rely on offshore oil and gas extraction, which New Zealand's government will phase out by 2050.

* In Scotland, the government has established a national Just Transition Commission with unions and stakeholders to address the challenges and opportunities that a low-carbon transition will bring to Scotland's workers and communities.

* In Spain, the government and mining unions have agreed to a Just Transition plan for the country's coal mines, which are scheduled for closure. Two further plans - one focused on economic diversification for affected regions and one addressing national issues - will follow.

"To meet the climate challenge and stop hothouse earth, all countries need to move further and faster with ambition driven by Just Transition. To get there faster, the principles of a Just Transition for the workforce highlighted in the Silesia Declaration need to be translated and integrated in the Paris Rulebook, the implementing guidelines that must be adopted at the end of COP24," said Sharan Burrow.

The rulebook has to guide and help the countries to implement climate policies that are ambitious in terms of emission reduction commitments, with effective adaptation measures, increased climate finance, a credible loss-and-damage compensation mechanism and appropriate Just Transition measures for workers.

"In 2015, unions successfully had Just Transition recognised in the Paris Agreement. Now it's time for COP24 to put these into practice in the Paris Rulebook and create decent jobs on a living planet," said Sharan Burrow.

ILO Indegenous and Tribal Peoples Convention (C.169)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Convention No. 169 is the only treaty in the multilateral system open for ratification that specifically and comprehensively addresses the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples. Convention No. 169 has been ratified by 23 countries so far. It has also encouraged numerous other countries to adopt laws, policies, institutions or programmes to address the rights and well-being of indigenous and tribal peoples worldwide. The 30th anniversary of the convention is a time to take stock and for looking ahead.

A large majority of indigenous and tribal peoples globally do not yet enjoy the protection afforded by the Convention, as the countries in which they live have not yet ratified this instrument. Indigenous and tribal peoples, wherever they live, are among the poorest of the poor, facing exclusion and marginalization.

The ILO marks the 30th anniversary through a series of events with the objective to:

1. Highlight the positive contributions of the Convention as a framework for promoting indigenous and tribal peoples' rights as an integral part of inclusive and sustainable development, and

2. Stimulate renewed action for the Convention's ratification and full and effective implementation, while underlining the role of ILO constituents in this regard.
