The overall aim of the International Policy Working Group is to identify the likely international policies and good practice examples and initiatives that can support the changes that Canada’s work environment (better practices, new technologies, etc.) needs to undergo to significantly reduce GHG emissions.The first stage of the group’s work was to review the emerging international policy context of the ‘transition to a green, low-carbon economy’ from the perspective of proactive policy initiatives to promote work-enhancing pathways in this transition. Now, the need for interventions, which are not simply reactive in terms of justice or job protection, proactively intervene to shape the nature of the green transition.
