Climate change is an urgent global challenge that is already having profound implications for the world of work. More frequent and intense extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and changing precipitation patterns are causing significant disruptions to businesses and labour markets globally, with far-reaching consequences for employment and economies worldwide. Climate change impacts are not uniform across sectors and regions. Some industries, like agriculture and construction, face immediate and direct consequences due to their dependence on natural resources and outdoor work environments. For example, heat stress can significantly reduce worker productivity, leading to economic losses and health risks. Other sectors face indirect effects, such as supply chain disruptions or shifts in consumer demand. Policymakers are therefore required to analyse these sector-specific impacts to design targeted policies that mitigate risks and support adaptation. Simultaneously, the transition to a low-carbon economy is a potential driver of employment creation in emerging green sectors. Investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and other green industries can create new jobs and stimulate economic growth. However, these new jobs may require different skills and qualifications, potentially creating a skills gap if not addressed proactively. Policymakers need to anticipate these changes and develop strategies to upskill and reskill the workforce to meet the demands of the green economy. This course, developed by the Employment Policy and Analysis Programme of ITCILO in collaboration with the Employment Department of the ILO, will respond to policymakers' need to respond to the challenges highlighted above and aligns directly with the ILO's mandate to promote decent work and social justice. To do so, it will equip participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to analyse the complex interactions between climate change, environmental sustainability, and employment. By understanding these relationships, policymakers can design and implement effective employment policies that mitigate risks, capitalize on opportunities, and ensure a just transition for all. This course will contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future of work by building capacity for evidence-based policymaking in the face of climate change.
