The workshop marked a significant step towards a collaborative approach in addressing climate change through the lens of labour rights and social justice.

In an effort to address the pressing issue of climate change through Just Transition and equip trade unions with the necessary tools and capacity, the International Trade Union Confederation - Asia Pacific organised an online workshop for trade union leaders on 27 June 2023, entitled “Building the Capacity of Trade Unions in Asia and the Pacific on Just Transition”.

In the lead up to the UN Climate Change Conference 2021 (COP26), the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) set out its demands and climate priorities in its Frontlines Briefing titled ‘Social justice enables climate ambition: unions set course for COP 26’.
