Business, Organized Labour and Climate Policy examines the current
lack of effective action in bridging the gap between climate change
goals and governmental policies. With little published about the
role of employers' organizations and trade unions in the climate
change policy process, this book evaluates their involvement and
argues that labour market considerations should be a central
element of climate change policy. The study applies ecological
modernization theory as a framework to guide policy development and
negotiation. Application of the framework finds that employers'
organizations and trade unions are effective civil society
advocates, but responding to the labour market implications of
climate change is neither institutionally embedded nor prioritized.
Included are case studies of climate change policy in six developed
and two developing economies, as well as within organizations such
as the European Union and the UNFCCC. The emergence of labour
issues in formal climate agreements demonstrates the impact that
climate change is having on the broader economy and employment, and
the need for business and labour to take concrete action. Providing
an invaluable reference for policy development, this work will
appeal to academics and students, as well as employers'
organizations and trade unions. This book provides a unique
perspective on key stakeholding organizations in climate change
policy and presents a platform for engaging with government.
