U.N. Summit on Climate Change

"Making a deal on climate change work" - Statement of ILO Director-General Juan Somavia

"We have to tackle both climate change and the jobs crisis together" said ILO Director-General Juan Somavia in a statement for the United Nations Summit on Climate Change held in New-York on 22 September. "A global climate agreement that factors in the social and economic transformation it will bring about and that brings on board the relevant actors can put the world on a path towards a greener, fairer and sustainable global economy."
