There are no jobs on a dead planet!

The Green Economy Coalition expresses strong disappointment with the Rio+20 Summit's Declaration, arguing that it lacks the concrete measures, targets, and timelines needed to transition to a green economy, create jobs, and address global inequity.

• The global trade union movement views the Rio+20 Summit Declaration as insufficient because it fails to provide concrete measures to stop environmental destruction, stimulate green economy investment for job creation, or provide social protection to vulnerable populations.
• The document criticizes the UN process for lacking specific targets and timelines, and for failing to seriously include civil society and unions in a strategic vision for planetary justice.
• An ITUC global poll conducted before the summit revealed widespread pessimism, with a majority believing the next generation will be worse off and only 13% of respondents believing voters influence government economic decisions.
