Decent Work, Green Jobs and the Sustainable Economy
Solutions for Climate Change and Sustainable Development
by Peter Poschen
Foreword by Guy Ryder, Director-General, ILO
· Published in June by Greenleaf Publishing, with the International Labour Organization (ILO)
· Poschen argues that a transition to a global sustainable economy is only possible through the integration of green jobs and decent work
· Essential reading for researchers, academics, practitioners and policy-makers
The challenges of achieving environmental sustainability and of generating decent work for all are closely linked. In this timely book, Poschen argues that an integrated approach to tackle these challenges is a necessity: the goal of environmentally sustainable economies will not be attained without the active contribution of the world of work. Decent Work, Green Jobs and the Sustainable Economy demonstrates that green jobs can be a key economic driver, as the world steps into the largely uncharted territory of building a sustainable and low-carbon global economy. Poschen shows that positive outcomes are possible, but require a clear understanding of the opportunities and challenges.
Enterprises, workers and governments are not passive bystanders in the great transformation that is urgently needed in our economies. They are essential agents of change, able to develop new ways of working in sustainable enterprises that safeguard the environment, create decent jobs and foster social inclusion. This book highlights the solutions that the world of work offers for policy and practice to tackle climate change, achieve environmental sustainability and to build prosperous and cohesive societies. It is essential reading for those in business, academia and government.
From the Foreword:
"This book documents [that] positive outcomes are eminently possible . . . The message is loud and clear: sustainable development is only possible with the active engagement of the world of work." Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Office
