As the Secretary-General stresses in his introductory note to the meeting, the threats posed by climate change are a huge challenge to our political capacity to organise an integrated international policy response across the economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainable development. Furthermore our strategies must be politically sustainable and stretch across generations of leaders and electors.
ILO Online: What's the role of the ILO in this? Juan Somavia: Adapting to and mitigating climate change will entail adjusting to new patterns of natural resource use and conservation. The ILO's constituents of employers and workers organizations and governments accept this challenge and are determined to play their part by building our capacity to anticipate change, prepare and then implement an efficient and just process of adaptation. We are doing this through ILO's “Green Jobs Initiative”.
