South African unions to launch just transition labour research centre

Four South African trade union federations have come together to launch a just transition research centre to develop the technical expertise to help the labour movement in addressing the potential risks posed to workers as a result of the restructuring that will accompany the transition to greater climate resiliency. The centre will initially be housed at Trade and Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS) and will be supported by the Congress of South African Trade Unions, the Federation of Unions of South Africa, the National Council of Trade Unions and the South African Federation of Trade Unions.
