Download or read book Green Recovery with Jobs Through Employment Policies written by Kees van der Ree and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the effects of climate change and environmental degradation are increasingly affecting the world of work, the involvement of ILO constituents in devising pro-active strategies is critical. Inversely, employment policies that ignore climate change and environmental risks may not achieve their objectives. This is the case with strategies and investments in sectors and enterprises that are not sustainable in the medium to long term given their exposure to climate risks (e.g., droughts, floods, increased heat) or due to practices that contaminate or deteriorate the natural capital upon which they depend (e.g., agriculture without soil conservation, over-fishing or excessive deforestation). In the past decade, a growing number of National Employment Policies (NEPs) have reflected on the need to safeguard national resources and enhance environmentally sustainability as a prerequisite for achieving employment targets. In more and more countries, staff of Ministries of Labour and Social Partners wish to improve their technical capacity around climate change and just transitions and related policy responses. The aim of the Guidelines is to assist ILO constituents and supporting technical specialists to design and implement employment policies that enhance a green recovery from the Covid-19 crisis and also contribute to a just transition over the long term. They are intended to help shape NEPs to strive towards decent and productive employment with particular focus on “green jobs” that simultaneously contribute to achieving the targets of emission reductions consistent with the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and other sustainability objectives.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addresses two of the defining challenges of the twenty-first century: achieving environmental sustainability and turning the vision of decent work for all into a reality. Shows that not only are both challenges urgent, but they are also intimately linked and will have to be addressed together. Demonstrates that while it is certain that environmental degradation and climate change will increasingly require enterprises and labour markets to react and adjust, the goal of environmentally sustainable economies will not be attained without the active contribution of the world of work.

This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the great potential for nursing involvement in promoting global health. This unique text elucidates the relationship between global nursing and global health, underscoring the significance of nurses’ contributions in furthering the Post-2015 Agenda of the United Nations regarding global health infrastructures, and examining myriad opportunities for nurses to promote the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and foster health and healthy environments worldwide. While past nursing literature has emphasized nursing’s potential involvement and influence in the global arena, this is the first book to identify, validate, and promote nurses’ proactive and multidimensional work in furthering current transnational goals for advancing health on a global scale. The book includes an introduction to global health, clarification of terms and roles, perspectives on education, research, and theory related to global nursing, a history of the partnership between the United Nations and the nursing profession, an in-depth exploration of the 17 SDGs and relevant nursing tasks, as well as several chapters on creating a vision for 2030 and beyond. It is based on recent and emerging developments in the transnational nursing community, and establishes, through the writings of esteemed global health and nursing scholars, a holistic dialogue about opportunities for nurses to expand their roles as change agents and leaders in the cross-cultural and global context. The personal reflections of contributors animate such topics as global health ethics, the role of caring in a sustainable world, creating a shared humanity, cultural humility, and many others. Key Features: Examines, for the first time, nursing’s role in each of the 17 SDGs Integrates international initiatives delineating nursing’s role in the future of global health Creates opportunities for nurses to redefine their contributions to global health Includes personal reflections to broaden perspectives and invite transnational approaches to professional development Distills short, practical, and evidence-based chapters describing global opportunities for nurses in practice, education, and research
Download or read book Poverty and the Millennium Development Goals written by Alberto Cimadamore and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) pass their 2015 deadline and the international community begins to discuss the future of UN development policy, Poverty and the Millennium Development Goals brings together leading economists from both the global North and South to provide a much needed critique of the prevailing development agenda. By examining current development efforts, goals and policies, it exposes the structurally flawed and misleading measurements of poverty and hunger on which these efforts have been based, and which have led official sources to routinely underestimate the scale of world poverty even as the global distribution of wealth becomes ever more imbalanced.
Download or read book A Sustainable Recovery for the EU written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU Recovery Plan represents a unique window of opportunity to restart the socioeconomic system addressing the Covid-19 crisis, fostering a shift towards sustainable development. The UN Agenda 2030, with its 17 goals and 169 targets, provides a compass to orientate the recovery in a sustainable way, considering the economic, social and environmental dimensions in a systemic manner. The political guidelines of the President of the European Commission attribute a central role to the Agenda 2030 and its SDGs and frame sustainable development as the cornerstone of the national and EU policies. Within this context, this report contributes to a better understanding of how the EU Recovery Plan relates to the SDG framework by applying a text mining approach that automatically maps key documents of the plan with the UN goals and targets through specific keywords. This textual analysis has been applied to a collection of documents publicly available from May up until September 2020, and provides a preliminary screening of SDGs and their targets in the Recovery Plan. The Recovery Plan is indeed in continuous evolution, with new legislative and non-legislative acts being drafted and adopted; therefore, these results represent a snapshot that may eventually change over time. However, identifying the link between the proposed Recovery Plan and SDGs upstream in early phase of the negotiations, can help to highlight areas that may boost SDG implementation along with areas that deserve more attention; further, it may also facilitate SDG mainstreaming in the implementation phase or monitoring changes in SDGs coverage during the implementation process (e.g. through a subsequent analysis of the Member States' National Recovery and Resilience Plans, currently under preparation). Summarizing the results at the goal level, the main goals detected in the Plan are SDG 3 on health and SDG 8 on economic growth and employment, but many others are identified. Overall, the Plan addresses all the 17 Goals, though some goals are only marginally mentioned. At target level, the text analysis detected 94 targets, described in detail in chapter 4. The distribution of SDGs and targets shows a great variety along the three pillars of the Next Generation EU (NGEU). The first pillar ("Support Member States in Recovering") pays particular attention to SDG 8, addressing many of its targets. This pillar has the largest financial allocation (about 90% of all funds of the Plan), and this is reflected by the broader coverage of all SDGs and their targets, compared to the other pillars. The second pillar of NGEU ("Kick-start the economy and help private investment") has also a relatively broad coverage of SDGs, and is mainly focused on SDG 9, regarding sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation. The textual analysis of the third pillar of NGEU ("Learning the lessons from the crisis") evidenced that it focuses on fewer SDGs compared to the previous two, with a strong emphasis on SDG 3. The main target is 3.d, which increases the resilience against pandemics by strengthening the capacity for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks. The SDGs are a roadmap for sustainable development and should remain a guiding framework for recovery in all countries. The mapping of SDGs in the proposed EU Recovery Plan provides a tool for tracking the implementation of the SDGs in the Plan, providing a text mining perspective on how specific initiatives included in the Plan address goals and related targets. A sustainable recovery should embrace the principles of the Agenda 2030 and its SDGs as much as possible, putting the EU in the right track to long-term sustainable growth. Our assessment of the Recovery Plan indicates that the Commission strives to be a frontrunner in pursuing the goals, and the Plan can further accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable, fair, just, and resilient EU.
