In a letter to the World Bank-IMF Joint Development Committee, ILO Director-General, Gilbert F. Houngbo stressed the need to invest in social protection and productive labour to reduce inequality through the Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions.
The Global Accelerator aims to galvanize the creation of 400 million jobs, including in the green, digital and care economies, and the extension of adequate social protection to the four billion people currently without coverage. This would support a shift to a pro-active approach to managing economic, social and environmental crises, and the just transition required to tackle climate change.
