A just transition to net-zero requires greening economies while promoting social justice. It presents an opportunity to stimulate sustainable economic growth, while creating new work opportunities and leaving no one behind. Minimising job losses is not enough; workers should be fully engaged in social dialogue on the transformation of the transport workforce. A well-trained, diverse workforce that is comfortable with new technologies is critical for the success of the just transition. This session will highlight effective policies that promote low-carbon solutions and drive a shift towards a more resilient transport workforce.
- What are examples of good practices for active engagement with transport workers to develop new and innovative ways of working that safeguard the environment for present and future generations, eradicate poverty and promote social justice?
- What opportunities does the just transition offer to promote the participation of underrepresented groups in the transport workforce? What role can innovation play in supporting this?
- How can governments ensure that the transition to net-zero will not negatively affect workers in informal transport and other particularly vulnerable segments of the transport workforce?
