Chats for the Goals: Decent Work and Just Transition

Ensuring decent work alongside climate action and environmental sustainability is critical if we are to achieve sustainable and inclusive development. This talk discusses what decent work is, how do we achieve it and why it is so integral to mainstreaming climate action and achieving the SDGs. 

The talk draws on findings from a research collaboration between ISF and the International Labour Organisation in Asia-Pacific, including projects in the textile and garment sector as well as others focused on just energy transition.
