Since 2007 Sustainlabour and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have been running a three-year programme on “Labour and the Environment” and here you will find information on the programme’s activities.
The programme addresses two working areas: Climate change and Sound and Sustainable Management of Chemicals and has three main objectives:
- Increase awareness of environmental issues among workers and trade unions.
- Improve capacities of workers and trade unions to develop actions and projects with an environmental dimension at the workplaces.
- Increase participation of workers and trade unions in international environmental meetings.
The first of its kind, the programme also aims at reinforcing dialogue between trade unions and other civil society groups and actors to build partnerships and synergies in order to better address environmental challenges.
The programme activities will be carried out in three target regions: Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean, and will focus on public awareness, capacity building and the promotion and extension of good trade union experiences.
This blog has been especially created to raise awareness of the programme’s working areas and to increase the visibility of its activities. Here, we publish information related to the programme, the latest activities and news of interest.
We want this to be a dynamic space where people can be informed of up-coming events, post comments and engage in discussions about the programme.
Please contribute towards these goals. Make yourself heard!
