Workshop on inclusive climate action: Integrating workers’ perspectives in the sector’s transition planning
Feb 12, 2026 | 3:15 PM - 4:30 PM
CC10
Description
Climate-related transition measures – such as the adoption of low-carbon technology, water management and renewable sources of energy – are urgently needed to address resource scarcity in the sector but also to prevent crossing environmental thresholds that would make future impacts more severe and adaptation more costly. However, an abrupt transition or one not managed properly could increase risks and adverse impacts to businesses, workers and local communities. While governments must establish the policy framework and incentives to drive the transition, businesses also play a key role in developing and scaling technologies, skills and business models that support the transition as well as addressing potential impacts associated with their transition activities.
Panellists will share insights from their pilots of co-developing and integrating workers’ perspectives into transition planning and their experiences in navigating the intersection of environmental, social, and economic priorities. They will discuss areas for deeper collaboration and key considerations for businesses.
Speakers will be announced soon.
