There are no jobs on a dead planet!

The global trade union movement criticizes the Rio+20 Summit Declaration for lacking targets, timelines, and a strategic vision for planetary justice. The statement argues that the summit failed to provide a new model of development to address unemployment, poverty, and environmental destruction, while noting a significant lack of public trust in government economic decision-making.

• The global trade union movement views the Rio+20 Summit Declaration as insufficient because it lacks concrete measures to stop environmental destruction, invest in the green economy for job creation, and reduce inequity through social protection.
• The UN process associated with the summit is criticized for lacking specific targets, timelines, and the meaningful inclusion of civil society and unions.
• An ITUC global poll conducted before the summit revealed that a vast majority of people believe the next generation will be worse off, and only 13% believe voters influence government economic decisions.
