Without human and labour rights there is no #SocialJustice. As international labour standards give expression to human rights at work, the @ilo is committed to promoting these rights as foundation of inclusive social and economic development and human dignity.

[ILO Dar @ilodaressalaam]

The high-level launch of this project is a strategic move to galvanize support from policymakers, development partners, and other stakeholders to promote long-term sustainability in rural road infrastructure through community involvement. #CBRM project on the #RISE project

[Gilbert F. Houngbo @GilbertFHoungbo]

In the @ILO statement to @IMFNews & @WorldBank meetings, I called for stronger global cooperation to address labour market challenges and advance #SocialJustice.

A united approach is not just beneficial, it is essential for creating a more equitable & sustainable future of work.

Respecting the rules of war is not an option: it is an obligation of all parties to armed conflicts.

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

The @ilo's new report, "Heat at Work: Implications for Safety and Health," highlights the urgent need to protect workers from extreme heat.

🌡️ The world is warming at a rapid rate, @UN SG @antonioguterres calls for global action to safeguard workers' rights and safety. #ActNow

[Gilbert F. Houngbo @GilbertFHoungbo]

Our new report shows that excessive heat is creating unprecedented challenges for workers and not only during periods of intense heatwaves.

As the world continues to grapple with rising temperatures, we must protect workers from heat stress year-round.

Over 120 armed conflicts are happening in the world and millions of civilians are suffering the humanitarian consequences of them.

Another successful workshop by our dynamic STRENGTHEN 2 team @ralfkruegerGVA @AsfawKidanu @LuisVillanueva

[ILO Pretoria @ilo_pretoria]

We recently held a Capacity building on Employment Impact Assessment in Botswana 🇧🇼

This workshop aims ro mainstream quantitative employment impact assessment using economy wide models as decision tool for employment promotion

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

The recent floods in East Africa and Brazil are the latest proof.

Forcibly displaced people are being hammered by the climate crisis in places they found safety.

They are among the most hardest hit by the #ClimateEmergency, even though they are the least responsible for it.

[Mito Tsukamoto @mitotsukamoto]

Happy May Day!

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

NO DEBATE.

Labour rights are human rights. ✊

When art meets science. Wonderful meeting Thijs Biersteker with his brilliant interactive installations at The Villars Institute showing the rate of deforestation through visual art. Best things come when different technical expertises meet for the common good! @VillarsIdeas

[Mito Tsukamoto @mitotsukamoto]

So privileged to have been able to have dinner with both, our inspiring Keynote speaker Mark Malloch-Brown and our incredible moderator Nik Gowing at The Villars Institute Summit.

[Mito Tsukamoto @mitotsukamoto]

Great to see @marcolambertini at The Villars Institute Summit 2024. Out teams will be pleased to know that we recalled our important joint efforts, #ILO/#WWF publication - NATURE HIRES: How Nature-based Solutions can power a green jobs recovery (2020)

Pleased to be here at The Villars Summit to exchange with other Systems Change leaders. The nexus of #jobs, the #environment through a #JustTransition is key to this debate and creates opportunities to address #inequality, environmental restoration and building #resilience !
