Forging a Role at the Negotiating Table
9781786430113 爱德华·埃尔加出版社
This impartial study analyses the role of employer’s organisations and trade unions in climate change policy and its impacts on the labour market. The policies of government to manage greenhouse gas emissions will require business to change its product and service delivery arrangements, which in turn means labour requirements will also change. The book also considers whether labour market issues should be explicit in the theoretical framework of ecological modernisation as it guides the policy development process.

业务，有组织的劳动和气候政策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.
为政策制定提供宝贵的参考，这项工作将吸引学者和学生以及雇主的组织和工会。本书为气候变化政策中的关键利益组织提供了独特的看法，并为与政府互动提供了一个平台。
