World of Work Pavilion website - unions have solutions
LO-Denmark and the ITUC have jointly organised the " World of Work (WoW)" pavilion in the framework of the next Climate Conference in Copenhagen. The WoW pavillion will take place from 14 to 16 December 2009 in the LO-Denmark Building - Islands Brygge 32 D - 2300 Copenhagen.
For the European Metalworkers Federation climate change is a dangerous reality which demands a social response at international as well as European, national and regional/local and company levels. We believe that a drive towards new industrial strategies based on low carbon technologies and products can offer opportunities but also challenges for the future of industrial workplaces in Europe.
Sustainable development seeks to "meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” in the sense of balance between economic, social and environmental elements. Still, increasingly rapid global changes, from the melting of the icecaps to growing energy and resource demand, are challenging this objective.
