A just transition is impossible without workers.
As governments are meeting in Bonn at the
#SB64 to develop the new Belém–Antalya Mechanism for Just Transition, trade unions are calling for a simple but essential principle: workers and their representatives must be part of the decision-making process.
ITUC Africa Rhoda Boateng stressed in her opening statement that as climate policies affect jobs, industries, communities, and livelihoods - workers must have a voice in shaping the transition to a sustainable future. Strong labour rights, social dialogue, decent work, and quality jobs are not optional—they are the foundation of successful climate action.
There can be no just transition without human rights, labour rights, and peace.
