The Directors-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) have signed an agreement to reinforce their cooperation, to promote employment and decent jobs for women and men in an energy transition that leaves no one behind.
“The rapid deployment of renewable energy is indispensable to the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals. Making such a transition conducive to decent work creation, with more and better jobs, while ensuring a just transition for all is essential,” said ILO Director-General Guy Ryder. “Working together, the ILO and IRENA can further promote decent work and social justice in the energy transition, in a comprehensive manner.”
