Global Position Paper from Workers’ Organizations in the Informal Economy ILC 111th Session – General Discussion on: Achieving a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all

International networks of workers in the informal economy and WIEGO welcome the ILO report on Achieving a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all, prepared for the International Labour Conference’s 111th Session.

For the ILO, and for us, a just transition means greening the economy in a way that is fair and inclusive, creating decent work opportunities, and leaving no one behind. To fulfil this commitment, workers in informal employment – more than two billion workers who make up 61% of the global labour force – must be included.
