This brief technical note has been issued by the ILO Employment Policy Department in preparation for COP 22 in Marrakech (7-18 November 2016). The note examines issues such as promoting employment and labour market policies in response to climate change, supporting a just transition for all and contributing to the goals of decent work for all, social inclusion and the eradication of poverty. Managed well, the transition can not only become a strong driver of job creation and support climate change adaptation and the reallocation of existing jobs, but can also reduce inequalities and skills gaps; while reducing our carbon footprint.
