This paper has been prepared following consultations with the Officers of the Governing Body and the discussion at the 96th Session of the International Labour Conference of the Director-General’s Report I(A), Decent work for sustainable development. It focuses on the proposal to promote a socially just transition to green jobs. It recalls salient facts about climate change, explores the interrelationships between climate change and decent work and briefly examines the present policy debate on climate change. Suggested policy conclusions are drawn from this analysis and items for a possible ILO programme of work are outlined.

China has stretching targets to reduce energy consumption per unit GDP, and tackling energy efficiency in buildings will be a key route to achieve these targets. Significant progress has already been made, for example current building codes stipulate that energy consumption in new residential buildings should be 50 percent less than the level of buildings designed in 1980-81. As China already has a number of such ‘command and control’ measures, this study focused on identifying market-based and financial instruments such as carbon and energy taxes, soft loans and subsidies, internal energy saving trading systems (‘White Certificates’) and the Clean Development Mechanism and voluntary carbon markets. It goes on to make recommendations for short and long term actions.

This is the first comprehensive and authoritative report which provides an overview of the complexity and policy relevance of global environmental challenges - climate change - and employment. It gathers data on employment on different sectors - renewable energy, energy efficiency in buildings, sustainable transportation, and organic agriculture - and draws conclusions and recommendations for policy makers, business and industry, workers and trade unions in the context of the transition towards a low-carbon economy, which may yield a real potential, and yet is faced with formidable challenges.
