Suriname one step closer to establishing just transition policy

Suriname has taken its first step toward establishing a just transition policy through a tripartite workshop held on December 2-3, 2024, in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO). The event brought together representatives from government ministries, employers' organizations, trade unions, and other stakeholders to develop labour legislation supporting the country's green growth ambitions. Participants built on earlier discussions and training on sustainable development and just transition principles, focusing on climate change, social dialogue, and green economy initiatives. The workshop culminated in a joint commitment to policy frameworks and cooperation, paving the way for a dedicated tripartite committee to guide the policy’s development. This initiative aligns with the Decent Work Country Program III (2023-2026) and Suriname’s National Green Development Strategy, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s pursuit of sustainable and equitable economic growth.
