The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) has developed a short guide “to raise awareness among decision makers and the general public on the need for a ‘Just Transition’ in the context of climate change negotiations and policies.”

ITUC health, safety and environment specialist Anabella Rosemberg says the Just Transition flyer, which is available on the ITUC’s climate change website  in English, French and Spanish, “is a tool for ensuring social justice in the necessary transformation towards climate-friendly and climate resilient societies.”
