Title: Work in a changing climate: The Green Initiative: Report of the Director-General
Description: The main body of the Director-General’s Report to the 106th International Labour Conference, June 2017, describes and updates the accomplishments of the ILO Green Centenary Initiative, which was launched in 2013, “to promote the considerable potential for creation of decent work associated with the transition to a low carbon sustainable development path and to minimize and manage the inevitable dislocation that will accompany it.” The report emphasizes the need for research and policy analysis,and includes the following important themes: the need for tripartite responses to climate change; the importance of a global carbon price; and skills development and social protection for the successful green transformation of work processes. The Working Group of the ILO responded to the Director-General's report on June 9.
