1. Unit 3. Climate change Global Jobs Pact, Decent Work, Green Jobs and Sustainability: validation of a trade union training manual Kisumu, 22 nd to 26 th August

2. Session Climate change and its causes Impacts in Africa Impacts of climate change on employment UNFCCC and the international trade union position

3. Climate change and its causes

4. What is GHG effect?

6. Impacts in Africa

10. From 0 to 93.9 tons per capita

11. Impacts of climate change in employment

12. Some changes are difficult. Rice. Coal. Oil. Some changes are easy. Energy efficiency. Renewables. Also in the South: Convenience of clean technology. Specific problems: Deforestation.  Those who harm more: reducing as soon as possible  Those who harm less: starting to reduce the harming  Those who are not harming: demand for the change, fight for the change..  Those who harm more: reducing as soon as possible  Those who harm less: starting to reduce the harming  Those who are not harming: demand for the change, fight for the change.. STOP HARMING Mitigation

13. Reducing emissions as much as we can as citizens. Promoting the reduction of emission in workplaces where possible. Being informed. Fight for the protection of workers. Informed to anticipate adverse effect. Asking for participation. Looking for synergies: day cleaning / public transportation STOP HARMING As workers

14. How we get prepared? Adaptation -Capacity building: understanding impacts, enable proper decision making -Reduce vulnerability: investing in infrastructure, changing crops. Employment effects: avoid job losses, job intensive projects (health, inf) -National Adaptation Plans GETTING PREPARED Adaptation

15.  Effects on employment from climate-induced disruptions (i.e. displacement, migrations, unemployment in climate-sensitive sectors and climate refugees)  Effects on employment from the implementation of adaptation measures (i.e. investments in infrastructure or transformations in production),  Effects on employment from the impact due to mitigation efforts. (i.e. negative.: sectors linked to fossil fuels and other energy intensive (as steel, iron, aluminium, cement…) (i.e. positive. : new sectors: renewable energy, energy efficiency, recycling, environmental services..) Employment and climate change

16. UNFCCC and the international trade union position

17. UNFCCC Process United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change United Nations Convention on Climate Change, 1992 Kyoto Protocol, 1997 5.2% reduction of GHGs 2008-2012 Kyoto Protocol, 1997 5.2% reduction of GHGs 2008-2012 Copenhagen Agreement, 2009 What will happen after 2012? (2012-2020?) Copenhagen Agreement, 2009 What will happen after 2012? (2012-2020?) 2007 – 4th IPCC Report Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change  Keeping the global temperature increase to within 2°C  Emission reduction -85% -50% for 2050.  Short term objective: -25 –40% for 2020  Risk on taking decisions based on conservative

18. Building a common position Challenges: To position on the debate from a global perspective. To promote the integration of the labour agenda in debates To put forward solidarity & social justice as essential principles in climate change negotiations and policies. Strategy Political weight in TU agenda Participation in UNFCCC process Strengthen TU capacities Labour movement in the negotiations

19. Political weight in TU agenda: ITUC Working Group on Climate Change (2007) ITUC Tasck Force on Climate Change (2008) ITUC Statement to the COP 15 (2009) ITUC 2nd Congress Resolution (Vancouver, June 2010) ITUC General Council Resolution (Brussels, Feb 2011) Several National and regional TU statments: Argentina, Brazil, America, Europe, Japan, Poland, Spain, UK, US... Labour movement in the negotiations

20. Key elements of the ITUC Statement: B inding, fair and ambitious agreement for the post 2012-framework Global emission reduction of 85% by 2050, developed countries: 25-40% reduction from 1990 levels by 2020. Developing countries, steps for transition to a low-carbon economy. Government-driven investments, innovation and skills development and social protection. Sufficient public funding allocated by developed countries to adaptation in developing countries. – USD 200,000 m (2013-1017) Public funding to develop sustainable long-term industrial policies, aimed at retaining and creating decent and “ green ” /sustainable jobs. JUST TRANSITION! Labour movement in the negotiations

21. ITUC position: JUST TRANSITION: sharing the cost and the benefits in a equitable way Minimize negative effects in most vulnerable communities and groups Protect most affected groups: strenghten social protection and security systems. Protect jobs. Promote “decent work” Put in pactrice democratic decision making and control – Social Dialogue Research and anticipation. Labour movement in the negotiations

22. Disappointing results of Copenhagen. Not much expectations. Some advancements: Principles: equity, right to development, historical responsibility of developed countries, just transition and decent work, respect of human rights. Procedures: creation of a Green Climate fund, Adaptation framework, Technology Mechanism to facilitate technology transfer. NO COMMITMENTS IN REDUCTIONS COP16 Cancun outcomes

23. CHALLENGES for TU movement: To operationalise these decisions (mandate for ILO to establish the means to guarantee a JT towards a climate-sound society) To ensure a deal is reached on mitigation and finance, which are ultimately the only means through wich a just transition will be possible. To maintain support for ambitious climate action and finance for CC policies in a context in which unemployment is expected to remain high. To identify the best means for translating the Just Transition language into ipmlementation at national level. The way to Durban

24. Group 1 ACTIVITY 7: From your own experience, which do you think would be the main difficulties to tackle environmental issues from you trade union or at your workplace? Do you think you could get support from other actors (employers, government, environmental NGOs, civil society groups)?

25. GROUPS GROUP 1 -Togbe (Ghana) -Noah (Kenya) -Anthony (Uganda) -Ochuli (Nigeria) GROUP 2 -Godwin (Kenya) -Carolyn (Kenya) -Jane (Mauritius) -Nyasha (Zimbabwe) GROUP 3 - (Tanzania) - Mary (Malawi) - Thulani (South Africa) - Joe (Kenya)

26. Group 1 CHAPTER 9 AND 10 ACTIVITY 1: Is chemical risk prevention part of the OHS agenda within the trade union? If yes, which activities you promote? If not, which actions you think would be necessary to promote? At the union level and workplace.

27. Group 2 CHAPTER 11 AND 12 ACTIVITY 2: Which policies would you like to see your government promoting to address desertification, deforestation and the lost of biological diversity? Which measures would you propose to them?

28. Group 1 CHAPTER 13 ACTIVITY 3: Considering the discussions and tables presented, do you think your job could be affected by climate change or by policies to fight against it? Why? Which measures do you think could be implemented to facilitate a Just Transition in your sector/region?

29. To all groups ACTIVITY 4: Make a list of terms from Unit 3 that you think it would be good to include in a glossary (a list of words that you find a bit difficult to understand or that would require further explanation). + Examples to be included

30. Body text Apollo image of the planet
