The victory for Chancellor Merkel on securing a majority commitment to the Paris Agreement is a relief for the world, but it requires deep cuts in emissions and a commitment to ensure industrial transformation is accompanied by “just transition” measures... The Labour 20 Statement from workers and trade unions at the G20 issued on the eve of the Summit called for policies to ensure coordinated action to create quality jobs for the future, reduce inequality to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and meet the commitments in the Paris Agreement... The G20 Leaders Declaration was positive in addressing the abuses of human rights and labour standards in global supply chains... “The G20 leaders recognition of workers’ rights in global supply chains and the reaffirmation of the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights along with the ILO Declaration on Multinational Enterprises and the OECD Guidelines on Multinationals and its complaints mechanism is welcome. Due diligence by all corporations sits at the heart of implementation, and now they need to be held accountable for this to ensure decent work,” said [Sharan Burrow, General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation]... For the first time, the G20 leaders also committed to encouraging their multinational companies to conclude international framework agreements, which are negotiated with Global Union Federations.
