Peter Poschen

Peter is the Director of the International Labour Organization  (ILO) Enterprises Department. argues that the world of work has a central role to play in tackling climate change and ensuring a just transition to a green economy.  He is the main author of the latest Green Jobs Report, Working Towards Sustainable Development. In his view, not only is the shift to green jobs necessary, but it could also contribute to youth job creation in a context of global recession. 

Peter Poschen talked to The Global Journal about the policies promoted by the ILO, the actions undertaken by some emerging economies, and the areas where improvement is most needed. With the green economy as an issue being brought to the forefront of international debates, his positive message for a greener future is inspiring.
