Resource: World Employment and Social Outlook 2018: Greening with Jobs
This PDF, by the International Labour Organization, will help students to understand key issues linked to the establishment of a greener economy, including macroeconomic, environmental policy, public programs, and worker protection and skills. While moving away from a coal-fueled economy may cause short-term job losses, the report shows that a fair transition to a more sustainable economy provides for job creation and the promotion of decent work. It further underlines the need to help low and middle-income countries offset the potential short-term employment losses as they transition to environmentally sustainable economies, which will in the long-term, create more jobs than are lost.
