The importance of decent work in achieving sustainable development is clearly highlighted by SDG 8 which aims to “promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”.
In this regard, the ILO adopted in November 2015 a set of Guidelines for a just transition to environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all. These Guidelines offer the ILO and its constituents a framework and a practical tool to ensure that national and global efforts to tackle climate change and other environmental challenges, advance employment creation goals, social justice and fair transitions for workers, enterprises and communities on an equal footing.
This inter-regional course is organised and delivered by leading experts and resource persons from the ITCILO, ILO and partner organisations with solid technical knowledge and practical experience in this field. It will be offered in blended modality, including 3-week distance learning preparatory and follow-up phases and a 5-day training course at the ILO International Training Centre in Turin, Italy:
- 15 - 26 May 2017 - Distance learning;
- 29 May - 2 June 2017 – Residential phase in Turin – Italy;
- 5 - 9 June 2017 - Distance learning.
The e-learning phases will be hosted on the ITCILO’s e-learning platform, the e-campus. It provides interactive e-learning opportunities making optimal use of new technologies and allowing participants to get familiar with the course contents and community of experts.
The overall objective of this course is to strengthen institutional and individual capacities that can support a just transition to environmentally sustainable economies and societies.
